The 2002 Volvo C70 for buyers
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2002 Volvo C70 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before you buy the 2002 Volvo C70, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 6 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, engine and engine cooling and equipment. There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
The numbers in plain words
Its powertrain is the 2.4L 5-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 34 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.2 L/100 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $19.60, and a 300 km weekend about $58.80. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
What to expect from the C70
As a small car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The trunk holds 227 litres by the EPA's count: about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Who it is for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Rent it for a week first
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Over to you
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
