Hello mate,

Greetings from Narita, Japan.

Welcome to the forum, I wish you find it useful & enjoyable. As I'm an 850 driver, I'm not privy to the C70s. All I can say is to have one inspected at your mechanic before paying for the car, test drive it and look for unusual noise, fluid leaks and questionable driving behaviour, etc... Also, check out the recalls against the car and have them fixed free of charge at a Volvo garage. I'll leave a URL for recalls, but please note that they are for US models and UK models may have different recall lists.

Agree with JPN. Don't worry so much about the year as what shape it's in, etc. and by all means have it checked out.
