Buying the 2012 Volvo C30
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Volvo C30 for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2012 Volvo C30 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA lists no recall campaign for this model year. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Specs, explained
The 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo, paired with a 5-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 9.7 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 29 litres. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $15.04 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The C30 in everyday use
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Its 425 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
A good match for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Rent it for a week first
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Drive the C30 on your commute before you commit to it. A test week in the C30 tells you more than any review.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.04 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Over to you
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2012 Volvo C30 from us first.
