Hi!

Here's the one I'm considering right now :

http://www.lespac.com/search/detail....n=&%20prio=

It's basicly an automatic '05 VOLVO S40 Turbo with 5 cylinders, leather, 98 000 km for 14k $.
I really don't know much about Volvo... let alone a S40.
Can you tell me your opinion on it? Does is seems like a nice deal? What are the pros and cons of owning this car?

Thanks!! [sm=groupwave.gif][/align][/align]

If I could read French...maybe I could help!

 

That's french indeed


It's an automatic '05 VOLVO S40 Turbo with 5 cylinders, leather,60k milesfor 12k USD$. If you need more infos to be translated please just ask. I really need your input guys.

 

It's not a bad price, I mean it's fair especially since it's the newer body style...
considering I payed 11 for an 04 LSE with 65k miles.
pros are your buying a car that will last you 200k miles, It's sporty, fast and it's a Volvo..so it's safe. Check around online for recalls and see if there are any issues you need to worry about.
cons are it's not cheap to fix. that's the only con i can think of.
let us know and welcome to the site! these guys know Volvo's and they are invaluable when yo have an issue.

 

What's up,
I just bought an 05 s40 T5 about five months ago, it's an awesome car, but it can get a little expensive so get a good warranty if you can. It's a very quick car, especially if you get the T5 turbo. I get alot of compliments on my car so I'm sure when you get yours you will too! keep us posted, and good luck!

 

How old are you? I bought my 2000 S40 for $5,750 with 87k by myself at age 16. If you can afford it, go for it!

 

I'm 22. Just got out of Univ and I always told myself I'd buy a nice car when I'm done with school... and there I am!

TBH I wanted a 330xi very much but the maintenance costs + the douchebag stereotype made me turn away from the brand.


BTW, is there also a bad strereotype for Volvo drivers? Do you get picked on by people because of your car or **** like that?

 

I don't. Only comments I get are positive. People love the car and there aren't a million of them on the road like the BMW's. Plus the S40 is the cheaper model, but most people who don't know Volvo don't know that and think it's in a better class then the BMW.
