850 Turbo - Sat for a couple of Years 850

The 95's seem to develope an issue with the tranny slipping if driven hard in the "sport" mode especially. I don't suspect the "granny car" would have that issue at that low a mileage but you want to be sure to drive it enough at freeway speeds to warm the tranny up thoroughly. The first startup after stopping with a "hot tranny" will slip as if in the "winter" mode with no tranny codes. After that initial slipping it starts working fine. Check the tranny fluid for signs of burning and dark color. As Klaus states the AC evaporator is probably shot unless a cabin air filter has previously been installed. That's a BIG job as you can see by going into the "Bay 13" Volvo web site. The AC flexable lines are also most ceratinly leaking and would need to be replaced.
