Thinking of buying the 2004 Volvo V70?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2004 Volvo V70 for sale by us right now. Buying the 2004 Volvo V70 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
What the figures tell you
It is powered by the 2.4L 5-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.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 32 litres, from its 10.7 L/100 km rating. Every 100 km costs about $18.72 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the V70 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.
What to expect from the V70
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. Luggage space is 1,019 litres, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Rent it for a week first
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A test week in the V70 tells you more than any review. Drive the V70 on your commute before you commit to it.
Year and trim
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. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Running costs
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $187.20 at our price setting.
One more step
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 2004 Volvo V70 from us first.
