What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the Volvo V50
| Price of the Volvo V50: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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 | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 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. |

| 2006 | 4dr Wagon 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Cheap glove box door and locking mechanism. Lots of shortcuts on the interior materials including the headliner and seat parts. |
| 2005 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 134hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual FWD |
Good materials, but not always flawlessly put together. |
