These models were problematic about driveshaft noises & vibration. Approx $450 to have rebuilt.
The A/C evaporator is a chronic failure.
The " angle drive " attached to the transmission for the all wheel drive is expensive & needs correct type of lubricant.
The driveshaft MIGHT make a clink noise when shifting from Reverse to Drive or vice versa. It may also vibrate on hard acceleration [ felt in the floor ] The center bearing when faulty makes a whirring sound that increases in pitch as accelerating from stop.
Best to pay $100 or so to have a dealer or VOLVO specific independent shop check it over before purchase.
