Good day all!
 

Hi there! Not actually a Volvo owner yet, but I am looking. I am in the market for a second car for around town and commute to work. As part of my due diligence I always join a forum for before and after the purchase.

I am looking at a 2007 S40, 2.4i. I do not know much about it yet. I was just navigating Craigslist and came across it. It supposedly has a blown motor. I should say that just about every car I have purchased, I got because it had a blown something. I am not flipping cars or something. My first car I got because it had a blown transmission. My current car had a blown motor, which I fixed just by replacing the crankshaft.

So I came here to hopefully learn more about them. And if it would even be worth my time. I did some research on the S40. Sounds like a basic, entry level luxury car, small and nimble. Not much for thrills but all the expected creature comforts. And quite safe I hear compared to lesser cars, and seemingly fairly well built and capable of handling winters.

Thanks in advance for the forum and any advice!

Welcome to the forum :D Lurking in the subsection for the model car you're considering you should be able to learn a lot. Feel free to post up any questions you have as it's so much easier finding out something before you but than after :eek:
