V50 T5 PURCHASE

Post by motor1947 »

Currently driving 2001 V70 T5 w/166K and have a chance to buy a 2006 V50 T5 w/67k. Any pros or cons on this model.

Mostly pros.
And the pros by far exceeds the cons.

Expect usual wear and tear but nothing really sticks out as a problem on these. Maybe the crankhouse vent but with a good service history and regular oil change history this should not be a problem. If you are in the us/north american market there is an extended warranty for this issue so should be good there.

All in all a solid car.

And with a tune, its a beast.
For more info there is a very good community for these cars over at www.swedespeed.com
