Buying a V40 - Advice needed please !!
Hi
I am looking at buying a V40 (2001 onward) and am not sure what to look out for, I am looking for a petrol model and am not fussed on engine size (other than anything un-insurable for a 27 year old). I have heard of GDI engines being a real nightmare, but am unsure why and if i should avoid them or not.... Realistically, not being a rich girl I would prefer not to have to spend a lot of money on engine problems etc... Could someone point me in the right direction and tell me what generally to look out for when buying a V40. Many Thanks Lou x |

Welcome to the forum
Yo would probably be best looking for a 2.0 litre none turbo as they cost a lot more to run and a lot more to go wrong. Mileage doesnt matter to much as most Volvos will do 150-200 thousand if cared for. the bigger engine gives a bit more grunt and easier to drive. best of luck wit your quest. |
