I am getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2000 C70 Convert in Silver. I am going to go back and take another good look at it on Tuesday after the holiday.

The car has a clean carfax with service records included up to 48k. The car has 57k on it now so it seems the history is well documented. 2 owner- car is in good condition. They are asking for $13,000 for the car.

What should I be looking for when I go back?
When is the next major service due, and what does it entail?
Is there anything funky about with this car?
What do I need to worry about failing? (Seems like windows, is that it?)

The car would be used as a daily driver- 14 mile mostly highway commute in Miami.

Thanks for any information.

Search the C70 section really good so you know what to look for and what is common.

 

I have basically read the entire board. Just wondering what the advice is on December 31.

People post problems, I read a lot abuot them- I am just trying to figure out what I can expect over the next 3yrs/30k.

Thanks

 

An evaperator going bad,Maybe window regulator or 2 going bad, The usual Brakes,belts.
The 60k is a tune up service
The 70k should be the timing belt service. (Volvo says 105k but I have seen alot break before then)
Maybe even an axle or 2 as well.

 

Thanks a lot.

Is there any place to source window regulaters other than the stealer or salvage yard?

 

Nope not that I am aware of.
