Just bought a Volvo 850 850 1993

Howdy,

I just bought a '93 Volvo 850, it is in really nice cosmetic condition (off white color with beige leather interior), and seems to run well.

It has (are you all sitting down) 226,000 miles on it. Some of you are wondering what would possess someone to buy such a vehicle... I am a small used car dealer, and do not like to tie up $$ in personal vehicles, and have good relationships with mechanics. I currently drive a 2 door '93 Acura Integra, which, since I have a 1 year old girl seems kinda impractical. Anyway, my reason for posting:

I was wondering what do I need to pay special attention to. I have looked around and haven't seen anything obvious, I of course will be changing the timing belt since I read it is an interference engine, but are there any other pitfalls I should be aware of?

Any help would be appreciated. Anyone have an 850 with more miles on it than me?
