Re: S40??? [danp1010]
My 2006 S40 AWD has been about average for repair issues. A window switch, oil pan sensor (Volvo extended warranty covered) and ignition switch and basic maintenance. Still on original brake pads at 67000. Oil filter replacenent is a PITA but only required every 7500 miles...I use synthetic oil as a precaution. I've had no problems with awd and I like the traction security it provides. Volvo parts are not cheap ... Read More

Volvo s40 valet keys
I have a 2006 Volvo s40 with no valet keys. I have the remotes, but no valet keys for either. I suppose the dealer has to make these (i didn't buy from the dealer). How much should I expect to pay to have these made? Thanks Joe

Re: Volvo S40/V40 pros and cons [vwdawg]
I've also had 1 Acura,7 VWs,1 Volvo...lots of Subis,Hondas,Toyotas,and even a Ford LTD and Galaxy, 2 Pontiacs,a Dodge Diplomat, a Chevy Kamback,a Protege,and...I must have left something out...currently we have a 2006 S40 and 2009 Prius. I've never had a car I didn't like at the time and most were "solid"...in pricing parts for the Volvo I've watched waranty items and service costs. I'd say VW and the Volvo would be ... Read More

Re: Volvo S40/V40 pros and cons [vwdawg]
So much depends on how well a car was cared for during the previous 8 years ownership. Most new car dealers don't handle these on their used lots thus no waranty. Consumer Reports does not have enough data on 2000-2001 to give a rating. Later models have done OK...mine's a 2006 and no real problems..But parts and major service for Volvos are high and can be more complicated than Japanese. A ... Read More

Re: 2008 S40 [sandman_6472]
My Volvo is a 2006 T5 S40...the power seats are great ...some of the best out there. They are firm with good bolsters and a lumbar adjustment. You might think of the Civic as a lightweight S40. Both are very good cars. The Volvo weighs more, is more quiet, and feels more solid. Gas milage is 22+city /30+ highway when driven at the legal speeds. Since the seat is a major ... Read More

S40 2006-resale value
Hi everyone, I am currently shopping for a car (no rush). I am pretty set into a certified pre-owned car to avoid the initial depreciation hit. I have looked at Acura, BMW and Audi. Recently I took the chance to look into Volvo S40 and I was surprised to see that my closest dealer has a few certified pre-owned 2006 models in the 30000 mile range that they are mark as ...

2006 S40 purchased used
I just picked up a 2006 S40 for my daughter, silver (metallic paint), automatic and leather with 30000 miles on it for $17500+++ There were four in town with about the same miles and specs, ie no roof, no premium etc. Two dealers would not take this deal and two would. We took the silver one. Asking prices ranged from $19000 to $20000. Nice car. Not an especially good deal, but ... Read More

> There is a plastic clip on the driver side window. In reading through the manual, it mentions this being a ticket holder or something like that. Can this be removed?

New owner of a 2006 S40 T5
Well, I pulled the trigger and purchased the 2006 Volvo S40 T5 FWD. I was a little nervous about the squealing noise when going around corners, but it looked like it was due to low tire pressure. So now that I'm a proud owner of an S40, I have a few questions. 1. What gas should I use? The manual says 91 so I'm wondering if I really need to use ... Read More

Re: Volvo S40 locking problem [qbrozen]

Is this just an issue you have to be careful of with the FWD Turbos or should I be concerned about this being a problem with ... Read More

Re: Devil's advocate question: I like the S40, but - [qbrozen]
I agree. Personal preference is the key. Practically speaking...save $10,000 and purchase a Fit or Yaris (preferably used.) Balancing emotional, practical, and financial requirements accounts for that great range of 4 wheeled contraptions in the market place. What do you REALLY want ? How much comfort can you live without (or with )? What can you spend on more than simple transportation ? How important are air filtration, Blue tooth, or ... Read More

Re: Buying a 2006 S40 [discovery218]
Congratulations on the new wheels. Where are you located? Did you take advantage of the 0% financing Volvo is currently offering. It seems I can get the lower price (which includes $1,500 cash back) or the finance offer, but not both.

Re: Buying a 2006 S40 [sackajacka]
Are you sure about that? I also bought a demo, but they specifically told me that the clock started when it went it to service, and the Volvo warranty booklet also states that. If what you say is true, that would be huge! Did you get it writing or any way of proving that the warranty started when you bought it? I'd love to know because that would give me A ... Read More

Re: I find a deal for 2006 volvo S40 with 8,000 miles for $20,000 ++ should I? [sarahh]
Keep in mind you are buying a European car, not a japanese or American one. So, parts, esp parts for what is essentially a new model will only be available from a dealer. Repair costs for the S40 are actually average. Slightly higher than a Honda, much better than a Benz. Plus, the car is under warranty, so parts costs aren't going to be an issue for another 4 yrs, by ... Read More

Re: 2006 T5 FWD questions [hatl22]
Greetings hatl22. I don't believe that Volvo is providing lease support on 2006 models any longer. If you really want to lease this car, you will probably have to do so through an independent bank. Use the $3,000 cash incentive that is currently available on leftover 2006 S40s to negotiate as low a selling price as possible and then have the dealer work up a lease payment for you. Unfortunately, I ... Read More

2006 T5 FWD questions
Hello to all, I am interested in a Volvo in Minneapolis. There is a 2006 S40 T5 2WD for sale at a dealer in the area for $27,500. It is new (not a program return or anything), so I am hoping to work out a nice lease for around/under $300/mo. Is this unreasonable given that there aren't incentives or lease support for 2006s now? Or has there been a change? How ... Read More

Re: S40 T5 Lease for July [alpinehills]
Thanks for the additional information, alpinehills. For the month of August, I believe that Volvo eliminated its lease support on the 2006 S40. That means if you want to lease one you are going to have to do so through an independent bank instead of Volvo Finance. This isn't really a big deal because when Volvo's cash incentives are taken into account independent banks often are the best option to lease ... Read More

Re: 2006 or 2007 Volvo S40 lease in Ohio [lesvolvos40]
Hi lesvolvos40. Volvo is no longer providing lease support on 2006 S40 models, but it is providing $3,000 closeout dealer cash on it. Volvo is currently providing a $3,000 cash incentive on 2007 S40 2.4i and $4,500 on S40 T5 models that are leased through independent banks. I do not believe that it has cash incentives for these models when they are leased through Volvo Finance, but it does have a ... Read More

Hey sbvolvo. Let's use Volvo Finance's actual lease program to estimate what this car's monthly payment should be compared to the one that you were quoted. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 Volvo S40 T5 with an MSRP of $32,225 and a selling price of $26,807 through Volvo Finance right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should ...

'06 s40 Wind Noise/Brake Noise
The 2006 s40 is a great car and I love driving it! But I am bugged by the wind noise at the tops of the driver & passenger windows. It sounds like the windows are not completely up. Volvo claims they cannot hear the noise, but I've had friends drive the car and they can hear it. Wondering if anyone else is having the same experience. Also, my brakes squeak when ... Read More

Re: November lease programs?
Hi sdiver68. Volvo's October lease program was scheduled to run through November 30th, so baring any unexpected program change if you were to lease a 2006 S40 T5 AWD through Volvo Finance right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00190 and 48%, respectively. The residual value for an otherwise identical lease with only 12,000 miles per year ... Read More

Re: Re: S40 T5
Thanks for the additional information, grecian713. OK, so you were quoted a selling price of around $26,900 on a 2006 Volvo S40 T5 that has a full MSRP of $31,700. That is one heck of a discount on a car that doesn't have a whole lot of profit margin baked into it. I suspect that the dealer that you are working with is running this car's lease through a bank other ... Read More

Re: S40 T5 lease
Greetings batman702. Volvo's lease program on the 2006 S40 T5 is not very attractive right now. Volvo Finance's lease money factor for this car is currently .00275 for a 3 year lease, which is equivalent to an interest rate of around 6.6%. I would be happy to give you an idea of what your lease payment should be like using Volvo Finance's current lease program if you let me know what ... Read More

Re: Re: S40 Leasing Question
No problem Alex. You definitely will be able to lease this car for 2 years if you want. The reason why most manufacturers advertise 3 year leases instead of 2 year leases is that in most instances the monthly payments for 3 year leases are lower. This is because vehicles experience their highest rate of depreciation during the first year of ownership. With a 3 year lease consumers have an additional ... Read More

My morning
I took my V70 in for it's 22,500 mile service this morning and had a few hours hours to wander the dealership. I re-looked at the S40 and drove a T5. I still feel the same about it - Light, tinny feeling and sounding doors, cheap plastics inside, and contrived interior styling (though the seats are comfy!). Engine feels strong, but it's not eager to rev (like a Honda or BMW). ... Read More

Re: question about options [fun4]
Hey fun4 and whoever just bought a Volvo S40 2.4i I got mine in Jersey, and I did a lot, and I mean a lot of shopping. I went all over the map, including NY, NJ, and PA. Overall, I found the service in NJ much better. I got my S40 2.4i, Select package, Automatic, Silver metallic, Climate control, and T Tec interior for $23,900 and that's after the $1500 incentive ...

Re: 2006 S40/V50 changes [gruxx]
Yup, Volvo is trying to limit options on their cars starting this year. Mistral and Safari Green are gone. Brilliant Blue and Electric Silver are the new colors. Moonroof on the T5 is only available in the Premuim pkg.

2006 S40/V50 changes
I've heard recently about package streamlining on MY2006, and was curious what anyone else heard. Only details are about overseas delivery so far: MSRP would be about $2000 more than this "tourist" model 2006 V50 overseas and 2006 S40 What I've gathered: No more greens no select package on the T5's 2.4i Audio control in str. wheel - std. no more optional moonroof - select (2.4) or premium (T5 & AWD) ...

AWD OR FRONT WHEEL DRIVE S40 T5 - CHIP ?
I currently live in Minnesota where we have snow about 4-5 month of the year. I'm interested in either a 2005 or 2006 S40 and wondering if a FWD with the DSTC would be what all I need ? I guess the disadvantages of AWD is the lower gas mileage, price and heaver weight. Advantages would be safer in snow/ice for winter time. I previously own a 98 grand prix GT ... Read More

Hello all, just to start I'm new to these forums, so if there’s anything that I need to know about posting, feel free. I'm planning on buying a S40 in October of this year. (T5 AWD w/ Dynamic trim package, T-Tec, audio package, sunroof, DSTC) I'd like to do the overseas deal that Volvo currently has in place for 2005 models, valid through April of this year I think.

Re: considering S40 [lily]
Thanks for the kind words, and thank for the info, but I have bought my two newer Volvos through the OSD (that I highly recommend, by the way) and am pretty sure that will continue doing just that - we have tentative plans to buy S40/V50 for my older daughter in 2006 and replace my S80 in 2008. The only question is - what is our route through the Europe going ... Read More

2005 Audi A4 vs. Volvo S40
My wife and are seriously looking at both the Audi A4 1.8T Quattro and the Volvo S40 T5 AWD. We both agree that the Volvo is a lot more fun to drive, but the Audi is more luxurious and spacious. At this point we need some input/feelings with regards to residual value and long-term reliability for these two cars. Considering the S40 is redesigned, my question may be hard to ... Read More

Couple of points
The S60 is scheduled for a redesign in 2006 or 2007. Volvo has charge of the platform for that car. Meaning that there probably won't be as much sharing in this car as you might think. 6th beatle, WHAT????? The 5 cyl has been around for over 10 yrs w/ hundreds of thousands of engines built. Name me one new car that is cheap to fix. Even your precious honda and ... Read More

According to the Volvo Cars web site, the MSRP for the new 2004.5 S40 2.4i will be $24,190 and $26,990 for the S40 T5. The current S40 starts at $24,700 for the base model and $28,845 for the LSE model. With the model changeover, you might be able to get a pretty good deal on the existing S40, but IMHO, the 2004.5 S40 is 100 times better. Not sure of the ... Read More
