The problem here is most PU manufacture - PowerFlex or SuperPro
dont have S/V40 bushes & engine mounts , all bushes need to
custome make but again local moulding shop only can do round
shape cutting , so lower arm bushes & engine mounts are possible
but not anti roll bar bushes as it it half round half square....

Dear Richard..

V40 question again..Is it a reliable car to own...I'm impress by its
power when I heard Wookies mentioned that he smoke a Airtrek turbo once
reach 200KMph, (though we know Airtrek speed cut at 180kmph)..COuld u pls
advise what is the HP and torque on paper for a stock V40 2.0T?

I saw one for sales in Serdang . 03/04 milage done 57K asking for
118K..The car looked new and I manage to check with the Matsalleh onwner,
the car is in perfect condition..He trade in the car to this Serdang used
car with a Merc S class..Also call up FA, the service record is
good..Besides all these, anythings to check else?? Yet to test
drive ..will call Wookies to join probably ...I'm still wondering the
prices worth 118K..I heard the new one for this model and year sold at
149++..correct me if I'm wrong..

Also dillema as need to trade in my Elentra 03 at RM53K(lost RM15K as
bout it 2nd hand last year)), Milage only done 46K..rather new..Afraid
after the exchange, V40 will give me more headache..Pls pls comment!!!
Will The ownership cost of v40 cost me skyhigh..??? Pls help to answer
all my doubt b4 i jump..Thanks~!

The 03/04 V40 are with following spec.

Max bhp - 165Bhp
Max torque - 240 Nm
0-100Km - 9 sec
Top speed - 215 km/h
Kerb weight - 1280 kg

You are right, on years 03/04, all standard version S/V40 ( except
Sport Edition model ) are with rm 30K offer ( original price rm
173.338.61)from SM only , FA did the same but not shown in they
price tag....

Lated 03/04 model are consider phs 2.5 and it is the last production
of V/S40 life time , should the quality of the car on all department are
the best and most improved version if compare to those phs 1
( 1998 -2000) and phs2 ( 2001 - 2003 ) and also it is the most
completed equip on the accessories & trimming.

So for used 03/04 market price should be around rm 110K or lower
as by this year it already 3 years old and also old model factor.

Like what my advise to all V/S40 owners before , the ownership of
this car can be varies in $$$ as it depand who you sending for
service/repair and where you get the parts . all this "known who " &
"known where" will justify the cost of ownership,.... try ask wookie on
recenty repairing on he Radiator , he will let you known the
experience. but again we are talking aount premium brand contil car
here so you can't compare it with local/ korea/ jap car ownership....so
be prepare to pay slightly more....

on your viewing or test drive the used units , advise to bring it to SM
for 20 points inspection and demand for inspection report and also
any repair bill to pay by the seller. Good Luck

Dear Richard,

Many many thanks for your comments! Another thing to check with you, is
the steering wheel of phase 2.5 different from the older version? Just
saw one 2001 year V40, the steering wheel is different from the 03/04 as
I saw this morning. The 03/04 one is so called " triangle" with three
edges (sorry, don't know how to put into word), the 2001 model is
like "rectangular" type (four edges)..Can u confirm??

Still considering now..Hopefully to test drive tomorrow...Wookiees are u
free tomorow??

Thanks & Regards

By the way, I have called up the onwer..The German said he bought the car
at 173K (04 MArch)that means before the discount..Huh..too bad..

Not sure if the 2nd car dealer wil pay the bill if the car needs repair
after the inspection..Normally I dun think they pay unless we buy from
the direct owner..further more, I roughly know how much the dealer got in
the car..probably he sell me at cost..Anyway..still thinking....

The 4 spokes steering wheel are for those phs1 (1998 - 2000 ) and
3 spokes are for phs2 & 2.5 ( lated 2000 - 2004 ) , the V40 that you
saw are the last production of phs1 ( 2000/2001) , my is one of them

For the price quoted, are abit on high side, should try to view more
units from different seller or refer to Star paper for better choice, as
Volvo are not HOT SELLING car, so don't worry about the availablity of
the car... just take your time to find the best condition & price.
