Buying the 2016 Volvo VNL
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2016 Volvo VNL 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. Thinking about the 2016 Volvo VNL? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 12 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, service brakes and suspension; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 6 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Under the hood
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Room inside
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
Best uses
It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends. 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 VNL answers more than any brochure. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the VNL for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Money matters
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Picking a year and a trim
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.

Can I rent a 2016 Volvo VNL before I buy one?
