Auto loans: the 2000 Volvo V40
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2000 Volvo V40 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2000 Volvo V40, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
Recalls and complaints
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 50 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, engine and engine cooling and suspension; have those parts checked.
Specs, explained
It is powered by the 1.9L 4-cylinder turbo, 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.
At 11.2 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 34 litres of fuel. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $19.60. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the V40
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Size and space
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The EPA lists 934 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
Try the V40 on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the V40 answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $19.60 in fuel. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
