Car financing: the 2000 Volvo S70
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2000 Volvo S70; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. For anyone shopping for the 2000 Volvo S70, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 164 complaints with NHTSA, most often about vehicle speed control, electrical system and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.
Reading the spec sheet
The engine is the 2.4L 5-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. 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.
Plan on about 32 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 10.7 L/100 km. Expect about $18.72 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,750 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the S70
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.
How big it is
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. EPA lists 425 litres of luggage space, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the S70 for a week and see how it fits your life. A test week in the S70 tells you more than any review. Try the S70 on your commute, then decide.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $187.20 at our price setting.
