Amazon777 3rd Gear January 5, 2011 Share January 5, 2011 paid abt S$90K for the volvo but that was abt 6 mths ago. scrap my corolla coz was already 10 yrs. Now looking for workshop to add rear lip and side skirts. seem like no workshop do bodykit for Volvo unless customize and it is very expensive. What's the COE value you gotten 6 months ago? $40K ? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kch32 Neutral Newbie January 5, 2011 Share January 5, 2011 $200+ for rear lip cheap liao lor. i got a MS Design front lip from autovox b4 and it cost abt $600 excl fitting and painting. here's a money saving tip; the S40 oredi come wif a side-skirt (tho not beri deep) and juz paint it body colour instead of leaving it matt grey/black. you'll be surprised at the transformation. the rear lip can either get thru ebay or can checkout propell as they may be scrapping a T5 there. S$200+ for real lip is not from autovox. It's expensive if u get from them..... so, is it expensive to paint it body colour for the side skirts? bodyit for subaru/Honda cheap coz it's very common. For Volvo it's expensive. haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keynes7 Neutral Newbie January 26, 2011 Share January 26, 2011 I rather buy a Mazda 3. S40 and Mazda 3 share the same build. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VellfireS 4th Gear January 26, 2011 Share January 26, 2011 First 1-2 yrs depreciation is very high, esp for Conti in general. So if you are looking for S40, second hand is very good value provided the first owner took reasonable good care of car. Within the 3 years, you do not have to fork out a single cent for maintenance. Bro , from your avatar , seems like you are having a XC90.. Am I right? [laugh] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcf777 Turbocharged January 26, 2011 Share January 26, 2011 I rather buy a Mazda 3. S40 and Mazda 3 share the same build. nonesense. even they use the same chassis, both cars are totally different in term of power, style etc. S40 is a solid build car. Or shall I say the other is a tin can when compare together? (no offence to those driving Madza3) Why people buy IS250? might as well go for the X.

Silver_blade Turbocharged January 26, 2011 Share January 26, 2011 I rather buy a Mazda 3. S40 and Mazda 3 share the same build. You go test drive the 2 and tell us if it feel this same. Share platform doesn't mean they are the same. The chassis, etc....will be very different. Not to even comparing the difference in built-quality.

Throttle2 Supersonic January 28, 2011 Share January 28, 2011 I rather buy a Mazda 3. S40 and Mazda 3 share the same build. You would also rather buy a toy car becos it also has 4 wheels and a steering wheel like a real car, correct? I thought so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soya Supersonic January 28, 2011 Share January 28, 2011 Pls try before commenting! Jap and conti handling so different loh. I've driven both and hv to admit, the Mz3 is actualli a lot sharper around tight corners. This is prob due to the lighter body and smaller engine which makes it more nimble. Other than that, the Mz3 feels nothing like the S40. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
