The 2000 Volvo V70: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2000 Volvo V70 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2000 Volvo V70 for buyers, in plain words.
Before you sign for the V70
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA has 93 owner complaints on file, mostly about vehicle speed control, electrical system and engine and engine cooling. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the specs mean
The engine is the 2.4L 5-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. 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.
Combined fuel use is 10.7 L/100 km: about 32 litres for 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $56.16 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,750 a year for 15,000 miles.
Living with the V70
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. The EPA measures its luggage space at 1,048 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Good uses for the V70
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Rent it for a week first
A test week in the V70 tells you more than any review. Rent the V70 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent the V70 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
What it costs to run
Premium gas adds to the running cost compared with a car on regular. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $187.20 at our price setting.
Narrowing it down
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2000 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
Talk to a person
Send a request to rent the model you are thinking of buying.
