Go for it!
When you buy a v40 you get a lot of car for your money. I paid £900 for mine 3 years ago now and have done 50K in it - it has problems that will prevent it having a long life but the cost to distance ratio is tiny

[QUOTE=Car Driver;1932672]The price of the car is for £1975.
That seems to be okay for the market value at a dealership (not a Volvo dealership). Sounds a reasonable price to me for a dealership car, as you should be able to return it within the first few weeks if it starts causing trouble.

Thanks for all the advice.
I will get in touch with the dealer to find out more information. Hopefully they will be willing to take a younger car in part exchange and offer cash back as my current car is worth more. |

You would be far better off selling your current car privately, you'll do better in both selling your current car and the buying of the v40.
