Buying the 2011 Volvo S60
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Volvo S60 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. Here is the 2011 Volvo S60 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the S60
Owners filed 5 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine and engine cooling, steering and structure; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Specs, explained
It uses the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo and all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
The combined figure, 11.2 L/100 km, means roughly 34 litres for 300 km. A 300 km weekend costs about $52.08 in energy at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
What to expect from the S60
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. The EPA lists 396 litres for luggage, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the S60 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel.
