Volvo: 2004 s40 2.4i Turbo, drive axles, newer cars


Question
I have never owned a Volvo. What is the reliability rating for this year model.  Turbo issues - Repair costs?  Vehicle has 41000 miles 2nd owner seller

Answer
Dee,
Turbos hold up very well. As with any front drive car the cost of repairs is high. I have not seen many newer cars with hight miles, so not real sure as to the reliability, but I feel if you take care of the car it will preform very well. I have seen radiators and hoses leak, drive axles fail, brake and rotor wear out, window lifter regulator fail.
