Would you buy this car?
I'm looking at an almost new C70 I'd really like to buy. The Carfax has the following:
At 4000 miles,
Engine/powertrain computer/module reprogrammed
Engine/powertrain computer/module checked
Thermostat replaced
Washed/detailed
At 5500 miles,
Tire condition and pressure checked
Maintenance inspection completed
Battery/charging system checked
Brakes checked
At 7000 miles sold at auction as fleet vehicle.
Should I be worried about any of this?

fleet usually means company car or demo. either way if you MUST have the car go with your gut, but a sensible person like me would say walk away.
fleet vehicles are driven like stolen 9 times out of 10. but who knows, maybe the previous owner bought it through their company. many people do that.

Find out why the computer was reprogrammed. Other than that it looks like maintenance and a check out before it was sold. 7K is not a lot of miles. Most people that would drive a Volvo as a fleet car are not going to be major gear heads. If the reason for the computer reprogram checks out I wouldn't be afraid of it.
