I’ve got a ‘21 XC60 T5 Inscription now with about 33k miles and absolutely love it. I’ve had a couple problems with the front, passenger side interior handle but they’ve been covered under the CPO ten year warranty. Wish it had full screen and wireless CarPlay but there are ways around it and replace the OEM brakes with better ones when it’s time as the Volvo ones suck as they wear quickly and unevenly. VERY happy with it.

For 7k you should be able to find pretty good tyres for your Volvo. I looked around a bit this year and found last years NAF test winner for under 10k for a bigger dimension for my car, including mounting on rims. Look for the ones from NAF tyre test just under the winner, like the Pirellis that scored okay but not great are within your price range, at least here in Norway, and way safer than these unknown China tyres.
I've stuck with Garmin since then. Latest purchase was the 55 I think, the one with the lower fov so I can keep distance details.
They always screw you in filters... I do those.
I have a 2011 T6 with 280k km that I bought at 230k km and it's been solid. The only thing I had to replace outside of regular maintenance so far was the AWD system oil pump.
I bought the same 2012 S60 but a T5 for $5000 in August with 124k miles. It was a single owner vehicle with great maintenance records and my mechanic gave it a once over. I had to replace the timing belt and will probably need to replace the AC compressor next summer. I expect you'll need to do the timing belt too, and maybe some other things noted in the service manual, but even with $4k of work, you'll be well below your budget. I honestly smile every time I drive it, it's a blast.
I think it's either a skill or wrong setting issue.
Fronts are 5/32 and rears are 6/32. I'll save the $40 and do it myself. And when the time comes, I'll replace them with something that will last more than, say, 20k miles. I just wish Nokian made tires that fit the 19" wheels.
Tuxmats - coverage on the Volvo mats is poor if you live in a snowy area.
I just had my 2015 quoted for A driver's side 'broken' blinker and headlight unit. $3.5k. wut .
