The 2004 Volvo S80: before you buy
No 2004 Volvo S80 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2004 Volvo S80, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the S80
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.
What the specs mean
Power: the 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo; drive: front-wheel drive. 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.
A combined rating of 11.2 L/100 km works out to about 34 litres per 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $196 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
The S80 in everyday use
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. At 425 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
Best uses
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Drive it on your own roads
A test week in the S80 tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. If the S80 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $196 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Narrowing it down
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2004 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Your move
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
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 2004 Volvo S80 from us first.
