2008 S40 T5 AWD - opinions please

[yardman]

Looking for a new car at the moment and randomly stumbled across a 2008 S40 T5 AWD in my price bracket. These are relatively rare in Aus and certainly refreshing to find as a multiple ex Saab owner.

So, went and looked it over. Good bodywork, lots of kit, full history, drove nicely and although I’m not a huge auto fan, I could be turned.

I did notice the engine was tappy sounding on the top at idle, is this common for the 5 pot? But, it roared quite nicely when pushed and didn’t seem hesitant or troublesome power wise.

Anything I should look out for or be wary of?

Cheers!
