Thinking of buying the 2001 Volvo S80?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2001 Volvo S80 for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 2001 Volvo S80, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 164 complaints with NHTSA, most often about vehicle speed control, electrical system and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Under the hood
Its powertrain is the 2.9L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive. 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.
Rated at 11.8 L/100 km combined, it needs around 35 litres for a 300 km round trip. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $61.95 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Space, size and seats
Being a mid-size car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. In plain terms, its 425 litres of luggage space hold a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Drive the S80 on your commute before you commit to it. If the S80 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Choosing the right one
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $206.50 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Still deciding?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2001 Volvo S80 from us first.
