Volvo Owners Club Forum - View Single Post - V50 General : - Thinking of buying V50: what should I look for?

Hi there,

This is my first post, and I'm after some advice.

I've seen this local to me:

https://www.southerncarsales.co.uk/u...sussex-2473119

I'm not that interested in rally-style performance: just want a reliable, economical diesel to replace my 2004 Merc C220 estate. I know there are some horror

stories about turbo on the 1.6D engine; if it has service history (as it seems to), should that be enough?

Anything else I should be asking / looking for?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks y'all.

N.
