Searching for the finest offer on a pre-owned vehicle? The Swedish Volvo V50 is a popular decision. At AutoUncle, we have assembled a collection of 93 used Volvo V50 cars collected from various dealership websites and online marketplaces.
A used Volvo V50 costs between £1,695 for the cheapest variant and £7,995 for the most expensive model.
The used car price of an Volvo V50 is determined by a number of factors, the most important of which are the year, engine size and performance, fuel efficiency, how many miles it has travelled and equipment level.
For example, a younger car with fewer miles on the odometer typically costs more. Likewise, models at the premium end with luxurious features or potent engines tend to come with a more substantial price tag than, for example, an older car without special equipment and with many kilometres behind it.
The following equipment variants are the most populare ones for the Volvo V50:
When examining the market value of a used Volvo V50, it's imperative to examine vehicles sharing identical trim level. Otherwise, you might draw an inaccurate conclusion about which car to purchase.
The Volvo V50 most commonly uses diesel as its fuel type.
Volvo V50 fuel options:
In order to choose the right fuel type, you need to ask yourself the following questions: In an average week, how much distance do you drive? Are you more inclined to take short drives or to go on longer journeys?
If you drive mostly short distances, range is not crucial - so electric, plug-in or petrol are obvious choices. For daily long journeys, electric cars make the most sense if you can charge easily. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Diesel cars may still be relevant in some cases with very long journeys and lack of charging options. Bear in mind that diesel engines emitting high levels of pollution are not allowed in cities in a number of countries.
On AutoUncle, the Volvo V50 is exclusively offered in the stationcar body style. In the UK, estates, commonly referred to as station wagons, are in high demand due to their perfect blend of driving prowess and generous space. Active families often gravitate towards these, as well as SUVs and MPVs, for their versatility.
The Volvo V50 has several competing cars from the same segment.
