Pretty low miles, color looks good. I'm personally not a big c70 fan but it seems like they don't get alot of attention on here

I wouldn't worry too much about the mileage. It looks pretty nice overall, and the price isn't TOO insane. I would probably pay $1,500 at the most for it. I'd feel like that's a good deal for that car.
Then again, who knows... it could be worse in person.

C70 - nah.
C70 vert - nah squared.
And it's a 99 ...

Looks very similar to my 850 mechanically (I really want to test drive this thing...).

If I weren't a student with an 850 that runs pretty well, I'd probably buy this right now and fix it up. Alas, as a student I don't have $2200 to spend.
Also, here in Boulder we are very lucky to have Swedish Motors who are... Well brilliant so.

Check engine light, P0440 code. Still passes emissions if you clear it beforehand, not a big deal for engine function. Fairly easy to fix, but never really got around to it...

...it just needs a little $5 hose on top of the fuel tank....

My post just after the red C70 was referring to the XC, by the way.

Agreed... I can't stand verts. I'd buy a coupe though. Still not a huge fan of the C70. After driving one, they're just like a sedan/wagon except with less visibility.

To me they just look like two different cars at the front and the rear. Loses the definition of the sharp straight lines so the whole design lacks unity. But that's just my opinion.

I remember WAYYYY back before I had Volvos when I first realized that the C70 was a P80, and noticed the front end on the rest of the car. It's just strange. They took a boxy design and slapped it on a curvy car. It works well enough, but it's odd.

Are these desirable? Found at a junk yard in Cumberland Rhode island
