newby Volvo owner with some questions

I just bought a 1995 VOLVO 960 wagon. I have never owned a Volvo before and I now see why people are so loyal to the brand. The car runs great, and is in amazing condition for its age and mileage. I have some questions I hope someone can answer. My car has just turned 200k miles. I plan to do the cam belt, and serpentine belt prior to winter. I will also flush the radiator by then. What other stuff should I plan on doing? The only major problem the car has is when I take off from a dead stop I feel a bump from under the car under the console. I bought it from a friend, and he just changed the tranny mount the day I bought it. I am guessing that there is something more wrong, and that is probably is what caused the tranny mount to go bad? Any ideas on that problem? Also, another Volvo owner told me that the dealer will give you a 200k mile badge for the grill, is that true? And lastly, what wheels will interchange with a rwd Volvo like mine? I like the five star looking wheels better than the ones my car has. I assume the front wheel drive are different, but I wonder if the cross country wheels would work. Thanks for any knowledge you can spare a rookie owner. Thanks.
