Hi Chuck,
For 6K you'll probably have a line up to buy this car.
Maybe that should tell you something.
I have owned a Volvo for the past 13+ years (I bought my second last November,
with @152,000 km on it and have gone @ 14,000 km since then.) All I've had to replace in the past 8 months is a front stabilizer link. Only other garage repair was what I thought to be a delaminated emergency brake shoe which turned out to be just an adjustment that I could have done myself. Presently, I need a new battery.
Yes, holding onto your car is a gamble, but with only 95 K miles, odds are you should get another 50 K without any major repairs and still get 4 g's in a few years when it is definitely time to sell.
