The 2007 Volvo S40: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2007 Volvo S40 for sale by us right now. Before you buy the 2007 Volvo S40, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the S40
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 25 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, electrical system and engine and engine cooling.
Under the hood
The powertrain here is the 2.4L 5-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Expect about 31 litres for every 300 km, going by its 10.2 L/100 km combined rating. A 300 km weekend costs about $53.55 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the S40
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
The S40 in everyday use
As a compact car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 368 litre trunk is enough for about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Rent the S40 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Running costs
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.85 in fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Still deciding?
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
