The 2002 Volvo S80: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2002 Volvo S80; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Before buying the 2002 Volvo S80, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
A buyer's checks
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 42 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, fuel/propulsion system and fuel system; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
Power: the 2.9L 6-cylinder turbo; drive: front-wheel drive. 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.
The EPA rates it at 12.4 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 37 litres. At our price setting, it costs about $21.70 to drive 100 km. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$4,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Living with the S80
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Luggage space is 425 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Try the S80 on your commute, then decide. A week with the S80 answers more than any brochure.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
At our price setting, 100 km costs about $21.70 in fuel. Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
