2006 Volvo S40 4 cyl Automatic 54,000 miles

as the car gets older, and not in warranty, what are the major problems I'm looking at and how costly?
Thanks much...

MAKE SURE YOU DON'T DRIVE FAST AND BOTTOM OUT ON A DIP. I HAVE SEEN ENGINES GET DAMAGED FROM AN OIL PAN CRACKING DUE TO IMPACT. ALL THE OIL LEAKS OUT AND SUDDENLY YOU HAVE AN ENGINE PROBLEM. OTHERWISE, THE S40(5 CYL) IS A CAR YOU WANT TO KEEP.
