Auto loans: the 2012 Volvo XC90

No 2012 Volvo XC90 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. Buying the 2012 Volvo XC90 is a big decision; here is the information we have.

Before you sign for the XC90

Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 3 owner complaints on file, mostly about back over prevention, electrical system and equipment. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.

Engine and fuel

The powertrain here is the 3.2L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive and a 6-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

A combined rating of 12.6 L/100 km works out to about 38 litres per 300 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $58.59 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.

Practical details

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

A good match for

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.

A longer test drive

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A test week in the XC90 tells you more than any review. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.

The cost of driving it

Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Year and trim

If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.

Over to you

Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2012 Volvo XC90 from us first.
