Hi guys/gals,

I'm currently thinking of purchasing V40, a 2000 yr model. I've never owned a Volvo before. Have been a Merc's fanatic for the past 10 yrs. Nevertheless, I feel Volvo gives better driving satisfaction than Merc after few test drives recently.

Appreciate if anybody good give specific feedbacks on the common failures for me to look for in inspecting & looking for a fair 5 yr old V40. Thanking everybody in advance.

Make shore that the wheels dont squeak when the wheels do a full turn if so you will be faceing a big bill to have the suspention fixed
