Congrats! Looks like a nice car for a very good price! I'm sure you will like the 2.0T engine.

In the boot of the S40 there is the same space as under the bagagecover of a V40. The opening is smaller though.

Wish you all the best with your new car

Wow, that model is amazing! I would need some scale model mountain bikes to put in the back of it though :lol: The phase 2 models are pretty rare and much more expensive, are they really worth the extra? I'm not expecting it to handle like the MX5, just be reasonably quick and carry loads of stuff....

If you want a T4 or 2.0T (my favorit) you can better watch out for an Phase II model (2001-). There handling is much better due to several major adjustments to the suspension, the older ownes can's handle the power. These engines have the M59 Volvo 850 gearbox attached so there's no problem there. D...

I work at a Volvo dealer in NL and I remember a 1988 480 Turbo in LPG which had run over 360000 km without big engine problems. But please don't forget that LPG is a fuel that hasn't got the lubrication-function like petrol. It is a bit more agressive to the engine, especially the valves and surroun...
