Hi, my ex needs a new car and is looking at a v50 24i 2006. I'm not at all familiar with them- we had a great 1989 240 and a 2003 xc70 (a bit more work ;). Anyway, what are the pitfalls with these cars? It's a good price. It has 143,000 km, so maybe I will need to see about the Tbelt..

Thanks!

Y.

    Engine bay is a bit tighter to work on, the rear seats are for short legged people, but nothing wrong with the car itself!

    The timing belt is way into the future and not even close to changing yet.

      Awesome! Thanks again Klaus!

      Did you happen to know when is the Tbelt service necessary?

      Cheers,

      Y.

        Tbelt maintenance is different depending on the state you live in. Check the maintenance chart which should be in the glove box along with the owner's manual.
