Buying the 2012 Volvo C70
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Volvo C70 for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 2012 Volvo C70, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 23 owner complaints on file, mostly about unknown or other, structure and power train. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Under the hood
It uses the 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 11.0 L/100 km, means roughly 33 litres for 300 km. Expect about $17.05 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
How big it is
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 368 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Good uses for the C70
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the C70 answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.05 in fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
