The 2001 Volvo S60: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2001 Volvo S60 for sale by us right now. This page helps you judge the 2001 Volvo S60 before you buy one anywhere.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Owners filed 223 complaints with NHTSA, most often about fuel system, vehicle speed control and electrical system; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The figures, translated
The 2.3L 5-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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. Driving 300 km costs roughly $58.80 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Practical details
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. In plain terms, its 396 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A longer test drive
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the S60 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Money matters
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $196 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Make a request
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
