Thinking of buying the 2002 Volvo V40?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2002 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. For anyone shopping for the 2002 Volvo V40, here are the facts that matter.
Recalls and complaints
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 4 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, electrical system and seat belts; have those parts checked.
The figures, translated
It runs the 1.9L 4-cylinder turbo, with front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 10.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 32 litres for a 300 km round trip. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $18.72, and a 300 km weekend about $56.16. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Living with the V40
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. EPA lists 934 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who rents the V40
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Try before you buy
A week with the V40 answers more than any brochure. Rent the V40 first, and buy only if it fits your life. A test week in the V40 tells you more than any review.
Money matters
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $187.20 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Year and trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Rent it for a week before you buy
