The 2001 Volvo V70 for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2001 Volvo V70 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. The 2001 Volvo V70 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Before you sign for the V70
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA lists 8 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 221 complaints with NHTSA, most often about vehicle speed control, power train and electrical system; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
Power comes from the 2.3L 5-cylinder turbo, driving through a 5-speed manual. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Plan on about 34 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 11.2 L/100 km. Expect about $19.60 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the V70 makes sense
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Size and space
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. Its 1,019 litres of luggage space fit bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
A longer test drive
If the V70 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the V70 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Rent the V70 for a week and see how it fits your life.
Picking a year and a trim
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Within the 2001 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.
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. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Let us know
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
Rent it for a week before you buy
