100K+ Premier Member Last Online: Yesterday 13:12 Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Newcastle	Looking to Buy My daughter is looking to follow my footsteps into Volvo ownership and get a V50. I know V70's very well ..not V50's. As she only does about 6K-8K per year I am steering her towards petrol, rather than diesel, and know ( thanks Clan) if she did consider diesel check the 8th VIN character is NOT a 5, I think all 1.6 and 2.4 diesels have DPF. Her budget is about £8-£10k, and must have Cruise - so SE spec. What do I need to watch out for- Electrics and suspension are the V70 Achilles heel, what about the V50? Was there a cut off date when V50 moved from Euro 4 to Euro 5 ( ie had a DPF as standard ? - who would fit one as an option) that said petrols appear to be £1500 cheaper like for like. Cheers Bob
