What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Volvo V50

Price of the Volvo V50: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I5
5-speed manual FWD		 We bought ours used with only 18k miles on it. It was about 50 percent off the MSRP of a new 2010. A friend was surprised that we paid about the same she did for her Hyundai.
2005 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Price was reasonable and there were good discounts.
Price of the Volvo V50: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Even with substantial discounts, the price is on the high side, and there is little support from Volvo for good finance deals or leases.
2006 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Expensive vehicle...paying for the name.
2005 4dr Wagon turbocharged 218hp 2.5L I5
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Volvos are pricey and they depreciate very fast. This is a good thing if you buy a three year old car, like I did. I feel like I got a good deal by buying used. I would never buy a new Volvo. Volvo pricing is a la cart, so every item costs extra.
