Car financing: the Volvo 850
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no Volvo 850 for sale by us right now. 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 Volvo 850, see the figures and the checks worth doing.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
Specs, explained
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Inside and out
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city.
When the 850 makes sense
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
A longer test drive
Try the 850 on your commute, then decide. A test week in the 850 tells you more than any review. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Choosing the right one
Compare the years of the 850: fuel use and trims change from one to the next. The years table on this page shows where the 850 changed. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
When you know your dates
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
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 Volvo 850 from us first.
Ask us about the Volvo 850
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Volvo 850 for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Volvo 850
Does CarmaCars sell the Volvo 850?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a Volvo 850 before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
