Why the 2005 Volvo V50?

Safety & braking

Best safety rating of any car and great brakes. Anti lock is standard.

Cargo capacity

I like the small wagon configuration and it will also tow a small trailer.

Reliability & durability

These cars have a reputation of lasting a long time but the reliability is less sterling.

Why Not the 2005 Volvo V50?

Price or payments

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.

Depreciation

The car depreciated about 40% in three years. A good deal if you buy used.
