thinking of up grading presrnt skoda 18t to volvo -v50 diesel anyone own one or knows what to look 4 ? thanks mitch
had a v50 with all the toys, leather etc.
it went very well, and i never had any probelms with it but it was a company car and so was pretty new.
My favorite company car so far
I had a V50 and after a while the sensor in the dash which senses the key failed so it wouldnt start. had to have entire dash removed to fix it which
was an all day job. thankfully fixed under warranty.
was chatting to the mechanic who did it and he had seen a few go.
other than that it was a brilliant car
I ahve a 08 2.0D S40 SE (identical to v50 from door pillar forward) and it is a great car.
I am a BIG guy and there is plenty of room, driving position is really good, its no slouch. Lovely and quiet and very comfortable!
I persuaded my auntie to get a V50 SE Lux, it has all the toys and a beautiful leather interior.
Apparently there have been people who have been unhappy with the dimness of the dipped
headlights at night bi-xenons are fine though. Also people have complained about reflection of the dash board in the windscreen. I have never found
either of these things to be a problem, or even noticed them to be honest.

what size engine was it?
the D5 is a volvo engine, and I think the others in the range are ford engines.
I sold my last volvo at 158k and it sounded like a sewing machine and pulled like a train.

2lt turbo diesel with 120k miles full volvo history ?
I wouldn't be overly worried about it, obviously at that mileage the price would have to be right.
