The 2007 Volvo C70 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2007 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. This page puts the 2007 Volvo C70 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
Before you sign for the C70
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. 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.
The figures, translated
The engine is the 2.5L 5-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. 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. That works out to about $19.60 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Room inside
As a small car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. The EPA lists 368 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
When the C70 makes sense
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Drive it on your own roads
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent first, buy later: a week with the C70 answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.
The cost of driving it
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. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $196 at our price setting.
Choosing the right one
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. 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.
