At that price it would be pretty hard to go wrong. It's obviously served your relative well enough to where he wanted a new Volvo.
I paid close to $5000 fo my '93 940turbo last summer, it was and is in excellent shape.
As far as ese of maintnence, you would have a hard time finding a modern vehicle that is easier to work on. You certainly would not be able to fix a honda or toyota as easily, and through internet parts sources such as those advertised here on the Brickboard ( www.fcpgroton.com etc. ), parts are heck of a lot cheaper than japanese parts.
Most of the information for repairs/maintnence can be found here :

Haynes manuals can be purchased directly from haynes publishing in the UK at www.haynes.co.uk , takes about a week to the US .
In case you are worried about volvo reliability , check this out :
http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/main.htm and check out the high milage list
and keep in mind that 940, 740 and 240 share the same ultra reliable drivetrain.
My 940 t has around 134,000 miles and is like a new car.
