Buying the 2011 Volvo S80
No 2011 Volvo S80 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before you buy the 2011 Volvo S80, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. Owners filed 5 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked.
Reading the spec sheet
It is powered by the 3.2L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
A combined rating of 10.9 L/100 km works out to about 33 litres per 300 km. For 1,000 km, budget about $169 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Good uses for the S80
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.
The S80 in everyday use
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Luggage space is 425 litres, enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Drive the S80 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the S80 first, and buy only if it fits your life. If the S80 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
