buying volvo with 215.000 KM

Hi guys,

I'm new to volvo. but i saw a volvo S40 2.4i Elite on the internet with a LPG installation.

Everything is nice; half leather seatings, LPG, etc etc.

the only problem is the car has driven a lot of km's. the counter is at 218.000 KM.

My question is that too much for this car? better to look forward for another car with less KM's?

The price of the car is: 9500 euro.

or is the engine of this volvo SO good that it can easly reach 400.000 ? (it's a 5 cilinder motor)

Not had a 2.4 V50, only a V70, but these Volvo engines are bomb proof by and large, so providing the car has been properly serviced and driven under the right conditions, then mileage shouldn't be a problem.

Ok, are there other details i have to ask and look for when i go to view the car?

I want to view and testdrive the car this weekend.

ofcourse i will look into the history book of the car; but i thought maybe there are things to extra look at.
