Default Thinking of V50

Hi Everyone,

I know this is a duplicate thread to mine in the S40 - please bear with me.

I have found a 2005 V50 w/ 112k KM (70k mi). It seems to be a great price given the comps I've seen online. It appears to be very clean and came up with a clear CarProof (CarFax). It drove very smoothly, lots of power and very responsive. No clunking in the suspension or wheels. I've looked over the maintenance schedule and am comfortable with what to keep up with. Is there anything I should be really looking for, or some typical things to break over time, and as a range might we be looking at for these repairs?

In terms of electrical issues, which I've read a lot of, is it likely that most of these bugs will have surfaced by now and have gotten repaired? I know this isn't easy to just throw on the wall, but give it a shot.

THANKS! Hoping to ink the deal in the next 2 days.
