07 c70 potential buy, info needed?

[Soldion]

So I found a private seller that has a car for sale. Wants 5700 with around 124k miles. It seems to be in good shape. Although I didn't get a great look at it besides of a person looking at a random lock car. I know some knowledge on the p2 from having my awd s60 and my parterns 99 xc awd 70. Is it anything to look at or should pass on it.

So the C70 is a P1 chassis and is different to the S60 (P2) and 99 V70 XC (P80). They are related to the Mazda3 and Ford Focus of the era.

As I always recommend, have the car inspected by a Volvo dealer or specialist. The $200 or so will save you a potential fortune in possible repairs. Having spent a lot of time in the last year or so helping with a C30 T5 and a V50 T5 AWD, they can produce many issues. Make sure the top works!

When running well they are a lot of fun.
