Expensive parts on many of them, the 2.9 is not as good as the 5pot. smooth but ultimately cumbersome out on the road. Better than lots of cars but not as good as some others. Best drive one to get an idea. No major horror stories with them but certainly not one of my favorite Volvos. Buy cheap and run as a shed if I were you. They depreciate like a falling anvil so best buy one that has done all of it's depreciating.
