The 2001 Volvo S80 for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2001 Volvo S80 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 2001 Volvo S80? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the S80
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. There are 7 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Owners filed 164 complaints with NHTSA, most often about vehicle speed control, electrical system and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked.
The numbers in plain words
The 2.9L 6-cylinder with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. 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 35 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.8 L/100 km. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $20.65, and a 300 km weekend about $61.95. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$4,100 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who rents the S80
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. 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 trunk holds 425 litres by the EPA's count: a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the S80 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Within the 2001 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$4,100 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $20.65 in fuel. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular.
Still deciding?
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2001 Volvo S80 from us first.
