Just booked a Yr2016 V40 T2 on 06Sep. SE started discussing from 130,000SGD and of cause I asked for discount. Today, saw on Volvo SG website saying that New V40 (year 2017 model facelift) starts from 129,999. Called SE on this and she mentioned its advertising gimmick to attract crowd to showroom.... the 129,999 is for 2016 and not 2017. Can anyone confirm on this?

[Lejx]

Maybe you want to call another SE to check , as new sales?

I would think you are booking the facelift model. The Volvo Spore website also shows the facelift model. If not, hur hur hur...

SE called and say $129,999 2017 facelift model is non guaranteed COE... Rebate at 40k... Unlikely to get... Just a gimmick to attract crowd.... Guaranteed is 135k. I'm not convinced at all... Seems like got cheated as this as not mentioned when I was putting deposit, only told me 2017 model guaranteed 135k. Anyway my 2016 v40 is at 122k guaranteed cOE, started discussion from 128k. Any thoughts? And Coe dropped 2k sgd yesterday hahaha

bro,

u may want to join local volvo forum to check with fellow forumers there. here's the link: http://www.volvosgclub.com/index.php

 

unless u really love the FL V40 Thor Hammer LED light, waterfall grill, then i'd suggest u talk to your SE whether can change to the FL model. other than that, the exterior/interior are the same for 2016 and FL model.

There are couple of car brand local forums where you post a comment and probably receive a response a year later

 

For Conti makes, Singapore Volvo forum is one of those . BMW SG forum is also slowly moving into that category. Thus far, VAGSG forum is the most active IMO.

[Alfaman]

Agree on that bro..vag is the pug today.

Hi guys, sorry to bring up this old thread, I'm considering to get a 2nd hand V40 D2. So far is there any issues or things that i need to take note of? Read all the pages already but now 1-2 years down the road, just wanna check how is the car doing.

 

Cant join the volvo forum as no admin ever approve my application.

Hi! Anyone here can share where to buy V40 D2 (2014) center console cup holder replacement?

[A320Skipper]

Is anyone still buying used Volvo V40s recently?

 

To those who bought years ago, anyone has anything to share about the ownership experience of the car after a view years?

referring to V40 d or V40T4? year of make?

should not have major issues unless heng sway get a lemon

V40d is like any diesel car, great FC buthas its problems when much older

T4 FC not good but overall good power

V40 old models, so dated interior

I am considering a used Volvo V40 T4. Perhaps a 2017/18 model. But there aren’t many for sale.

My top concern is maintenance costs. I accept that it will be more expensive than any Japanese or Korean make, however I consistently hear that good Volvo workshops are scarce and parts are much more expensive than other conti brands. There might even be problems sourcing for them down the road given they are not very common and are old models. Hence I thought of getting some feedback from owners who’ve owned the car for a while now.

I agree the console is very dated, but somehow personally I do have a soft spot for this hatch.

My friend has the V40 D2. haven't heard any complaints. He is definitely much happier regarding reliability compared to BOW and Merc.

Volvo parts are very easy to source, even Taobao also can get.

V40 T4 is a great car to drive due to its power and V40 esp cc model, nice shape and super easy to park

V40 cost is not too bad  and as it has been around for several years, many shops should be able to service

U can get it cheap in the resale market, need to be patient
