Maintenance items when it is supposed to be done. Not changing parts just to change them because they are old. Volvo ball joints tie rod ends,harmonic balancer,motor mounts,etc most volvo rubber parts unless they break as the quality of the replacement is really not up to par as you no.

When i purchased my 88 240 in 2002 with 48k on it for 500 bucks,nice.
I saw the belts were replaced(continental)(volvo belts were good for 100k) and assumed the T-belt was changed also,but never checked. So 3yrs later at 70 k when i went to change all the belts and fuel filter it still had the original Volvo t-belt on shiny and as slick as babys behind but with all the teeth intact. So 70 miles 17yrs on the T-belt !!!!
