How many years/miles left on a 1999 V70 Wagon with 130k miles?

It's got a T5 engine.  Suburban driving mostly.
I seem to be putting a lot of dollars into the car now - suspension, pumps, exhaust, completely new air conditioning.  $3k to the dealer a few months ago!  Wheel bearings just recently.
My wife would like the car to last another three years, which means another 25-30k miles.  I'm worried it'll be breaking down constantly, causing annoyances and major bucks to boot.
Can anyone offer me any optimism on the car making through 3 more years reasonably?
Thanks!

volvos last forever in my experience.  200k is nothing for a volvo, just treat it right and it will last

I have a 2000 v70 with 280k. the thing runs so nicely... you will probubly have no problem getting it through another couple of years. Just make sure that you keep up with normal repairs...

I have read that the 2.4 and 2.5 T5 are rated at a 5000k if well taken care of
