The 2002 Volvo S80: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2002 Volvo S80; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2002 Volvo S80 before buying one.
What to check on the S80
There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. 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 numbers in plain words
The 2.9L 6-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with 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.
It is rated at 12.4 L/100 km combined, so budget about 37 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $217. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Size and space
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Luggage space is 425 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
When the S80 makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Drive it on your own roads
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. A week with the S80 answers more than any brochure.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $217 at our price setting. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
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. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Ready to ask?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
