OTOH, a used trans from a wreck may be a pig in a poke, but it'll probably work (engines in wrecks are different...who knows how long it hasn't been run and if it ran after the accident..)

A factory rebuilt has the advantage of a warranty, but that's about it. I'd buy new if I could get one at a reasonable price. One year we put in a rebuilt Mazda 626 engine from the Left Coast...a year later Mazda was selling brand new 626 engines in a crate!!! I dunno if Volvo is a generous as the General with regard to new engines/transmissions...but if a new one is available and reasonable and you really like the car, that'd be the way to go.
