Volvo V50 2.0D SE 5d (2004/54) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Volvo list prices always high. Need good negotiation. Volvo prone to dumping on the market as has happened with V70 causing collapse in residuals.
Costs
Volvo prices hard to justify, especially as 40% of parts shared with Ford and Mazda and sold by them much cheaper.
