Default Should I buy? Own a 98 c70, looking at 11 c70

I have owned my 98 c70 saffron for years, great car! I'm looking at an 11 c70, with 23k on it. What are things I should look for, the dealer has had it for 3 months, and is going to sell it for a very good price (rough trade in value). The car still smells new, and has been serviced. Am I looking at something great or a money pit? My 98 c70 has 230+know, and runs great. I'm just ready for a newer one. Also it's a one owner, clean carfax.

Default 2011 c70

You will find leaky roof problems with the 2011 C70 on this forum many times. My 98 C70 has 58k miles.

I hardly ever see leaky roof problems with them, actually.

My '11 hardtop had a leak problem whenever rains. Sent it in twice before service really finds the issue and fixed it. Fortunately covered under CPO warranty.

I still have my other c70, it's a 1998 c70 coupe, saffron paint with black leather, I plan on putting it up for sale soon.

I have a 2012 C70 and my son has a 2013. We were both warned that the rear tires wear faster than the fronts and that wheel alignment is important. Other than that the car is a dream. You'll love the pickup and the way it handles. It's a fine car.
