Abort mission! Abort! It's a suicide mission!
I once inherited one s40 from my dad. It was a moving coffin, I had to dump it after 3 months when it suddenly broke down just when I was about to overtake a trailer and there were other vehicles behind me hoping I'll overtake on time before the curve. I last last packed inside a gutter.

Pls avoid the turbo. Only few mechanics can fix a Volvo (depending where you are anyways).

Hi guys, recently saw a post for volvo s40 on nairaland, for 640k plan going for inspection this weekend.

Planning to use it for Uber,

@ ValarinzAutos, deportivo, timifakay, gazzuzz, wahala dey fear me

Volvo S40 is a reliable European car with good body and interior styling but it has several models (04,05 06,07,08,09 has different shaft parts). For instance, when your shaft is bad, you will order for shaft and it won't fit because its another year model. I don't know why Volvo made some parts of this car hard to get. Their parts are scarce so you may end up parking the car at some stages when you want to replace a basic part that wear and tear.
I'm talking out of experience. My elder bro own a sexy S40 2004, we sold it after 5 months.. imported it ourselves. It came from USA with broken shaft rubber that houses grease and protects the shaft. During raining season, the shaft suffered water entering its bearing. We ordered for 3 S40 shafts at different stages but it didn't match with the model before we sold the car because of parts scarcity. I feel like buying another S40 but I'm still considering my previous experience with getting the parts. It's a good driving machine with enough safety packages
