Also, don't worry about the mileage, look for condition and service
history instead. They'll go on forever as long as they're looked after
properly. Very comfortable cars too and brilliant for long journeys.
Pick of the bunch are the luxury models (SE etc.) with 1.8 Mitsubishi
GDI or 2.0 LPT engines.

We bought one in the fall - 67,000 km (40,000 m). Love it - it is a
Volvo, after all. We had it inspected before buying it and other than a
leaky shock and a couple of codes from the "Check Engine" that the
mechanic said were not important, everything seemed great. Finally had
another garage (not a dealer - don't trust the one in the area, next one
is 150 m) check it to get rid of the "Check Engine" light. His diagnosis
was a bad transmission solenoid and a worn timing belt due to its age (6
yr). The cams would not stay lined up correctly. For security, I took it
in to change the belt - cheaper than a head job. I don't know if I was
taken, but the guy has been in business for over 20 yr and his yard is
full of Volvos, Beemers, Benz's and Porsches. They can't all be suckers,
can they?
As for the car, love the ride, the looks and the feel. A six year-old
car that passes for a new one at a used price.
