1000,000 miles is nothing for a Volvo 240. I sold one running well for $1400 with 235,000 miles ( and bought another used Volvo)
The cars are built like bricks. To answer your question:
The power windows might be fixed using some silicone spray. Easy ands cheap. The AC could just need a recharge. If not, the compressor is about $900. Sunroof, forget it.
New tires - $450 all around for good ones.
Paint? If its an issue, go to Maaco. If not, drive it, like I drove mine and forget about the paint.
You will get 24-28 mpg on your used Volvo, and will probably keep it for four years. They run forever with little maintenance. Except for the tires and the a/c the other stuff seems minor.
