The 2001 Volvo V40: before you buy
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2001 Volvo V40 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Before buying the 2001 Volvo V40, read what the figures say and how to try one first.
What to check on the V40
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. NHTSA has 11 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, engine and engine cooling and power train.
Engine and fuel
The 1.9L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with a 5-speed automatic, drives it. 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.
At 10.2 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 31 litres of fuel. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $17.85, and a 300 km weekend about $53.55. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Practical details
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The EPA lists 934 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Try before you buy
Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week with the V40 answers more than any brochure.
Year and trim
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.85 in fuel.
