Thinking of buying the 2004 Volvo VHD?

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2004 Volvo VHD; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. This page sets out the 2004 Volvo VHD for buyers, in plain words.

A buyer's checks

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. There are 7 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 3 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, structure and visibility; have those parts checked.

Under the hood

No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.

Room inside

Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.

Who it is for

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.

A longer test drive

Rent the VHD for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Rent first, buy later: a week with the VHD answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

Money matters

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

Year and trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
