If I were you, I wouldn't stress too much about the condition of the car. Even double the odometer reading is still in the "barely broken in" range for a Volvo. My 1991 745 Turbo has almost 200,000 miles on it and it is still as solid and quiet as virtually any new car from any other car maker. And when washed and waxed it is still quite a head-turner.
Any car will give you problems, they're machines. You'd never believe the things I've seen go wrong with brand new cars over the years. A Volvo with the kind of mileage yours probably has will still give you less headaches than most cars with half the mileage, and will usually keep running even with problems that would cripple most other cars.
To find the links for fixing the speedo yourself, look for the drop down menus on the right side of the homepage here at the Brickboard, or at the top of the forum pages, and drop the "features" menu down, scroll down to 700/900 FAQ and click on that. When that page loads, I think you click on "electrical:instruments" to get to the speedo repair info.
