Thinking of buying the 2002 Volvo S40?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2002 Volvo S40 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 2002 Volvo S40, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 27 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, electrical system and suspension. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
The figures, translated
The powertrain here is the 1.9L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 32 litres, from its 10.7 L/100 km rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $56.16 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space, size and seats
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Its 368 litres of luggage space fit about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Is it right for your trip?
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.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the S40 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
The cost of driving it
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $18.72 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $187.20 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Narrowing it down
Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. 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.
