You can add an extended warranty to 100K miles onto any car, bought new, up to the limit of its original warranty. That's why the purchase date of the warranty is 2007 when the purchase date of the car is 2005. But the extended warranty's lifespan is measured from the purchase of the car, not the time the extension is extended.
In other words, it extends the life of the original warranty, but is not a brand new warranty with a new start date.

If it is a genuine Volvo warranty, you are entitled to covered service at any Volvo dealership -- it is not a scam -- but in practice another dealer doesn't have to give you privileged service, meaning you may have to wait a while to get an appointment, and they may not offer you a loaner, things that they offer to their own regular customers. If you're not handy making d-i-y repairs, you might want to begin cultivating a "relationship" with another dealer that is still open.

Good luck.

Since the previous owner apparently knew he was going over the 50k miles/4 years warranty, it sounds like he purchased the extended warranty for 4 years/100k miles from the date of the new car purchase (i.e., in 2005). We have a 2006 S60 and we still have such an option up to a certain time. Volvo warranties should not be scams. Good luck.

2006 S60 2.5T (24k miles, bought it new and my wife loves it; clearly a FORD-VOLVO)
