Buying the 2016 Volvo S60
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2016 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. This page helps you judge the 2016 Volvo S60 before you buy one anywhere.
Before you sign for the S60
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
The figures, translated
It is powered by the 2.0L 4-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.
It is rated at 8.0 L/100 km combined; 300 km takes about 24 litres. Every 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,275 a year for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Space and size
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA measures its luggage space at 340 litres, roughly about two large suitcases and a few soft bags.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the S60 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the S60 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,275 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.40 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $124 at our price setting.
