  Hey, was just searching for info on V50 brake problems. Have a 2006 V50 with 6K miles on it. Recently noticed an oscillating thump and tool car in to dealer. They told that both rear rotors were completely warped, which he said was odd due to the age of the vehicle and mileage. However, he stated that due to the fact that my car was more than 12 months old it ... Read More

  Hi chiquita. If you were to lease a 2006 Volvo V50 T5 AWD through Volvo Finance right now for 36 months, its buy rate lease money factor should be .00245. This is really not all that great a money factor. It is equivalent to an interest rate of almost 5.9%. I am not sure of exactly what sort of credit score is necessary to qualify for this money factor, but I ... Read More

  Hi martyt1. Volvo is not longer providing lease support on 2005 models, so you if you want to lease one you probably would be better off doing so through an independent bank. If you were to lease a 2006 Volvo V50 2.4 through Volvo Finance right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00275 and 57%, respectively.
