The 2011 Volvo C70: before you buy
No 2011 Volvo C70 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. 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 2011 Volvo C70, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
What to check on the C70
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. 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.
Reading the spec sheet
Under the hood: the 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo and front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Expect about 31 litres for every 300 km, going by its 10.2 L/100 km combined rating. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $15.81 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the C70
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Space and size
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. In plain terms, its 368 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
Try the C70 on your commute, then decide. If the C70 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the C70 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $158.10 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Questions first?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
