Good luck with the new purchase. Yes the Temp gauge proble IS a common problem. Check Archives or Search for "Compensation Board". This Circuit brd regulates voltage to the Fuel gauge. This Circuit board and a hand full of relays are typical Volvo problems that can usually be resolved with a small soldering iron.
Volvo's are pretty cool, If you look at the Bentley or any other Service book they scare you BUT if you peruse the book then start to dig in, You will see that the engineers at Volvo (in most cases) had their act together.
Your 'new '86 has half the mileage of my '89.
Most of us have 150K plus on these cars not a lot of mileage for the 200's. Is yours and Automatic tranny or Manual?
Again, Good luck and welcome
