I've got an '07 V8 Sport with 90k miles. The summary I'd give is that it'll be a good bet after it's a bit of a money pit. I've dropped about $2,500 on mine in the last year for routine maintenance. Everything is more expensive on this vehicle, but as long as you keep up on routine maintenance they are bullet proof. At 90k, you'll want to know if the power steering pump has been replaced ($1,100 for an indy Volvo specialist to do it) as it's going out or about to. A/C compressor is also known to be funky around this time period ($600 if fixed, $1,200 + if replaced). Plus these vehicles are HEAVY so the suspension components start to wear down. They also EAT tires more than any vehicle i've ever owned.
