Thinking of buying the 2002 Volvo S60?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 Volvo S60 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 2002 Volvo S60? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the S60
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 186 owner complaints on file, mostly about fuel system, electrical system and fuel/propulsion system. There are 8 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Specs, explained
Power comes from the 2.3L 5-cylinder turbo, driving through a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 34 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.2 L/100 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $196. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
Room inside
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. In plain terms, its 396 litres of luggage space hold about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
A good match for
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
A longer test drive
Rent the S60 for a week and see how it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent the S60 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Money matters
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. 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.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Talk to a person
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
