The 2003 Volvo C70: before you buy
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2003 Volvo C70 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. The 2003 Volvo C70 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
Owners filed 4 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, power train and engine; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the specs mean
Its powertrain is the 2.3L 5-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its combined rating is 11.8 L/100 km, which means roughly 35 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $20.65, and a 300 km weekend about $61.95. The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who rents the C70
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
What to expect from the C70
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Its 227 litres of luggage space fit about a large suitcase and a couple of soft bags.
Rent it for a week first
A test week in the C70 tells you more than any review. 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.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.65 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $206.50 at our price setting.
