Volvo S40 Parts/maintenance

[son of a Lancer]

Greetings folks,

I am planning to buy a Volvo S40 1999 model and I have a few doubts which i would like to clear,

First of all details of the car are,

Its a 2ltr turbo (Auto)

1999 model

Mileage is around 80K

I'd like to know about the spare parts availability, or any places to recommend, and are there reconditioned parts in SL for this model? If so are they like extremely expensive?

Our mechanic went to see the car and he was saying theres a humming noise coming from the gearbox. Any ideas what could it be?

Anybody has used the same model before? Was it extremely a troublesome car in terms of spare part availability, etc (According to my parents

Or is there any reliable places (except the agents) that I can get things done..

Your inputs are highly appreciated..

Thanks a lot in advance ..
