850's reliable??? 850

we bought an 850 glt a year ago october with 128,000 on it. no real problems for that year. it comes up on 138,000 and i dont know if timing bwlt had been changed at 70k like it ws suppoed to but i dodnt weant to run it over 140k without a new one. we get the timing belt, water pump changed, $400 bucks. while its in the shop....they call and say radiator is bad...do we want to replace...so i say yea...another $350. so this is the only repairs ive done in a year and this is more like schulded maintanance anyway. drivin from biloxi the other day..dumb wife wants to reset trip meter...WHILE THE CAR IS ROLLIN AT 50 M.P.H now the odometer and trip meter dont work.....every volvo ive owned....from the 164E's and 240, this is a no no......and she did it...now we got to fix that...volvo problems persist from older models into newer ones....WHY IS THIS?
