The 2003 Volvo XC70: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2003 Volvo XC70 for sale by us right now. This page puts the 2003 Volvo XC70 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 24 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, air bags and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The figures, translated
It uses the 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
It is rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 37 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $21.70, and a 300 km weekend about $65.10. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the XC70
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
Space, size and seats
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Rent it for a week first
Rent first, buy later: a week with the XC70 answers the big questions. Drive the XC70 on your commute before you commit to it. If the XC70 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Which one to look for
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$4,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $217 at our price setting. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel.
