The Volvo 240: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the Volvo 240 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before you buy the Volvo 240, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Under the hood
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Who it is for
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Inside and out
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with.
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. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the 240 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Year and trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. The years table on this page shows where the 240 changed. Compare the years of the 240: fuel use and trims change from one to the next.
Money matters
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.
Ready to ask?
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
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 Volvo 240 from us first.

Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Volvo 240 for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Volvo 240
Does CarmaCars sell the Volvo 240?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a Volvo 240 before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
