I drive a '78 245 DL with auto and air.
The car seems to be reliable; after 85k miles I have had few
major (or even minor) failures.  The most trouble I have had was ~5 yrs ago;
I had a leak in the power steering box.   

Service is no more expensive than for any other car, and 'Tune-Up-Masters'
will do a tune up for $15.00.  

Most metro areas have at least one Volvo dealership,
 and Sacramento, CA has two.

The auto club (or anyone else with a "jim stick") can get into any car,
locked or not.  It really doesn't make sense to worry about break-ins.
