Default C 70 Purchase questions - Help!

I'm considering buying a 2000 C70 coupe. 180K or so miles. The price is very low and I know of some issues:
Bad alternator
Passenger window not working
Driver's fender was damaged at headlight - L&R headlights don't match
Only one key - no fobs
Been parked a while
Can anyone please give me tips on what to look for when I meet the owner and drive it tomorrow?
( I have read about the "blowby" from the oil cap & dipstick)

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

Xerxes66

Ask if the timing belt service has been done. If it hasn't, walk away. If there is no service history, walk away. A cheap Volvo can easily turn into an expensive Volvo.
