Buying the 2012 Volvo XC70
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2012 Volvo XC70 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. Here is the 2012 Volvo XC70 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the XC70
Owners filed 14 complaints with NHTSA, most often about visibility/wiper, structure and steering; have those parts checked. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
The figures, translated
Under the hood: the 3.2L 6-cylinder and front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 34 litres, from its 11.2 L/100 km rating. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $17.36, and a 300 km weekend about $52.08. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Who it is for
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Practical details
Its SUV body gives a high seating position and an easy load height. The EPA measures its luggage space at 1,048 litres, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Try before you buy
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.60 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
