I'd say you'd want to drive it and check it out beforehand, even if you think the mechanic's idiocy is the only reason it was in the shop. I can't help much with stuff to look for, but I do have some comments about your latter questions. I presume Volvos handle well in the snow. Front wheel drive is used in many situations because it's easier and "safer" to drive, but then I point out to my friends that the 240s are RWD and they're made for SWEDEN! As long as you don't do anything stupid, like deliberately over-accelerating while turning in a blizzard (something I'd do), I think the car will drive fine. My auto transmission is 14 years old with about 105K miles on it and works pretty much fine. I don't think 130K would be too much if the car has been well cared-for. Lots of Brickboards have bricks with many more miles on them than 130K.
