The 1997 Volvo VNM: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 1997 Volvo VNM for sale by us right now. Thinking about the 1997 Volvo VNM? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the VNM
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The figures, translated
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
A good match for
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Space and size
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk.
A longer test drive
Rent the VNM for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the VNM for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Still deciding?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
Rent it for a week before you buy
