Talking Hile High S80 AWD 2.5T

Hello and salutations, all! Today, my wife and I purchased a 2004 Volvo S80 AWD 2.5T in Ice White (at least I don't think it's Pearl White). I'm taking it to Voltek in the morning to have it checked over. The driver's window is a bit off-track, and the downshifts to 2nd and 1st are a bit clunky, but if we can get those things sorted, I think this will be a great car for several years.
This is my first Volvo and, quite honestly, I NEVER thought I would own a Volvo. Then I became an adult. Also, if I'm honest, I must admit I would have preferred to still have my 2008 Subaru Legacy GT, but alas, it was stolen from a repair shop about a year ago . Replacing that car, same model, feature for feature was no longer a financial option, so picking up this S80 for <$6k seems like a decent acquisition to me. The clock is a little high at 130k miles but, I'm not too worried. So, I'm interested to hear what to look out for on this car and what to expect. Any input is appreciated and thanks in advance!
