Auto loans: the 2000 Volvo C70
No 2000 Volvo C70 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2000 Volvo C70 for buyers, in plain words.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 3 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the figures tell you
Under the hood: the 2.3L 5-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
It is rated at 11.5 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 35 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $201.30. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,000 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Room inside
Being a compact car, it is easy to park and comfortable on longer drives. The EPA measures its luggage space at 368 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
When the C70 makes sense
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the C70 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Money matters
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.13 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$4,000 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
