I had a 96 850T wagon. In addition to the hyperactive CEL watch for these trouble spots: AC, heater core, leaky rear main seal, ABS/TRACS module, suspension woes, tailgate trim, and glovebox.
I am surprised to hear a person describe the 850 as bulletproof, that doesn't seem to be the consensus (nor was it my experience). Regardless, at the age this car is, perhaps you are benefiting from someone else already addressing this stuff.
IPD makes a device for changing tranny fluid pretty easily in this car.
http://www.brickboard.com is a very good resource for Volvo owners.
