Transmissions rarely last past 150K and are very expensive to repair or replace. I have been very disappointed with the quality and reliability of of this car and in hindsight would have sold it a few years ago.
Get it checked out by mechanic that specializes in Volvo's and be prepared for more maintenance than expected.

+1...very nice but not reliable.
