Spotted this AWD V50 T5, such a lot of car for the money! One owner too...!

Shame to see the drivers carpet worn-through like that, why not use mats? and the interior looks grubby even after their attempt at cleaning it (if at all).
Decent average MPG if that's genuine but I wouldn't be surprised if the car needs a lot of suspension work etc....£2K seems high in my opinion.

Never realised the higher tax band for the later AWD T5's....£555!
Why would anyone even bother?

hahaha thanks man, other half would kill me if I got a 3rd volvo. I am keeping an eye on breakers to see if anything turns up. but at the moment the K16 has blown a hole in my pocket so funds are lacking.
Still doing research on this AWD conversion as I have seen it done on C30's and also Focus ST's but dont know if there is a max power band for doing this conversaion?

I think it's worth doing if a K16 is involved... watch that review of the 400bhp Polestar PCP C30....that runs the AWD gear from a V50 and nobody complained about it being 4WD.
This one is running just under 400bhp, but Polestar have other versions with 451bhp.

yeh very interesting, I think the AWD will defenitly help put the power down better but for the track I will need to have a think on this. I would love a awd S40 but if I decide that I think I would be crossing into getting an evo or sti instead lol
