The Federal Trade Commission’s Used Car Rule requires dealers to post a Buyers Guide in every used California Volvo car they offer for sale. The Buyers Guide must tell you:
• whether the used Volvo car in California is being sold "as is" or with a warranty

• that spoken promises are difficult to enforce
• to get all promises in writing
• to keep the Buyers Guide for reference after the you buy the California Volvo car for sale
• the major mechanical and electrical systems on the California used Volvo, including some of the major problems you should look out for
• to ask to have the pre-owned California Volvo car inspected by an independent mechanic before you buy.
When purchasing a used Volvo in California it's best to have a mechanic look at it. If you don't want to spend the extra money on the mechanic, check it yourself.
Make sure everything works in the used California car. Radio, heater, windshield wipers, cigarette lighter, rear window defogger, and horn. Test the headlights, taillights, flashers, backup lights, brake lights, turn signals, and parking lights. Check for proper seatbelt operation.
The California Volvo car brakes. While driving the California Volvo cars at 30 to 40 mph, being certain there is no one behind you, apply the brakes three or four times. If you get a consistent pull, either left or right, while the brakes are being applied, there is a problem with the pre-owned California Volvo.
The California Volvo car tires. Check the tread for depth of wear, the tire sizes for matching, and for any other obvious damage. All the used California Volvo car tires should be evenly worn. Uneven wear could mean neglect, abuse, improper wheel alignment or bent front-end components.
Under the hood. Check all hoses. Examine the battery for leaks, and check the oil dipstick. If the used California Volvo has an automatic transmission, check the transmission fluid to see if it is dark colored or has a burned odor.
