-- a V40 Estate 2.0i Cd (auto) 1998 registered. 85K

Tell me I won't be disappointed. Looks good with lblack eather interior,
well equiped and generally very tidy

My memory tells me there was a CD slot with the radio (?CS-805). If there is
a CD changer were would it be located, and if not, is the wiring for one
usually factory installed?.

Thanks

You won't be disappointed but there aren't many fans of the V/S40 on
this newsgroup so don't hold your breath waiting for replies. Volvo
owners are still by and large VERY conservative.

I've had a 1998 V40 T4 (man) since new and apart from a hunger for
engine mounts - on number 4 at the moment, it is a solid buy.

Just check before you sign that the engine doesn't "click" on
acceleration and of course, has had the usual cam belt change.

good luck

Thanks John , for some good advice.
No idea about the Cd wiring being pre-installed I suppose .
If no, don't bother to reply

Thanks again
