Experience I am a Certified Volvo Tech at in Independent Volvo Repair shop. I grew up around Volvos and decided I wanted to do it professionally. I worked at the dealer for about a year then I went to work at an Independent shop which I have been with for 10 years.

my '98 AWD is running strong at 82x miles. But at 90x, 7500 is way over-priced. I bought mine for 9,500 in 2006 with 40x miles. I wouldn't offer anything over 4,500 despite what blue book says.
I haven't had to repair mine much, but they are expensive when they need to be in the shop.
If you get it, get the gear box oil changed for the AWD unit, make sure it has a new T-belt w/ tensioner, air-pump (they tend to go bad), check brake wear and shocks.
