Sorry to tell you that but my 96 850 just passed 270,000Km and I only did a few oil changes and tune-up on it in the last 12 months. New front struts costed me around $800 last year and I did the rear myself, it is quite an easy job. Honestly I wouldn't spend $4K on a car that will only worth $8k after

You should find a shop that specialize in Volvo repairs, forget about the dealers. Look like I a lucky that mine has a manual transmission.

Good luck
