Buying the 2007 Volvo V50
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2007 Volvo V50 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 2007 Volvo V50 before buying one.
Before you sign for the V50
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 6 owner complaints on file, mostly about tires, child seat and electrical system.
Reading the spec sheet
Its 2.4L 5-cylinder drives through a 5-speed automatic. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 31 litres, from its 10.2 L/100 km rating. Driving 300 km costs roughly $53.55 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,550 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Good uses for the V50
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
How big it is
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The EPA lists 906 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
Try the V50 on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the V50 answers the big questions. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. 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.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.85 in fuel.
Still deciding?
A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.
