Hi, I was looking around for something affordable to buy as a first car and owning a Volvo was always a quiet dream od mine. I have noticed that there are a couple od choices when it comes to cheap Volvos, namely V40 and 850. The V40 is a cheaper choice but you know, 850 looks cooler.
To the point. What is the maintenance cost of each of these and would it drive me bankrupt.

I wouldn't get a V40 or V50. Both my cars cost me probably about $1k a year each in maintenance.

Much of my time during the job is spent hauling things up and down the stairs to the basement or in and out of the storage shed, or running back downstairs when I realize I need something else,or taking a break from standing out in the sun,or using flashlights or work lamps when it gets dark.

The S70 are low maintenance once the consumables are worked out. This is a good start if you are close.
