The 2016 Volvo S60: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 Volvo S60 for sale by us right now. Buying the 2016 Volvo S60 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
A buyer's checks
Owners filed 27 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, electrical system and unknown or other; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
The numbers in plain words
The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo, with 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.
At 8.0 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 24 litres of fuel. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $12.40 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,275 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the S60 suits
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Practical details
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. With 340 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Try before you buy
Drive the S60 on your commute before you commit to it. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the S60 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Year and trim
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. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$2,275 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $124 at our price setting.
Ready when you are
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
