Buying the 2012 Volvo XC60
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Volvo XC60 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Thinking about the 2012 Volvo XC60? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Owners filed 46 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, unknown or other and electrical system; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
Specs, explained
The 3.2L 6-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. 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. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $17.36 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles.
When the XC60 makes sense
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits client visits, weddings and special weekends.
Space, size and seats
As an SUV, it sits higher than a sedan, which makes getting in and loading easier. The EPA lists 963 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Try before you buy
Drive the XC60 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent first, buy later: a week with the XC60 answers the big questions. Rent the XC60 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Year and trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel.
