So, who's going to buy this lovely 2004 C70 with 79k miles? Looks like it just got an exterior and engine bay detail. Check out those jewel headlights and interesting wheels.

Too bad it's in Philly, not near me in NH. That makes it a little easier for me to not want it.
It lost me at “ automatic + convertible “ = fatal-stack-error ( non-recoverable)

My girlfriend needs a car so I'm looking at it through her eyes.
Me: "It's red and shiny!"
Her: "But it's 21 years old and a Volvo."
Me: "But... those headlights!!"

Isn't that the bad one which all '99 and up have? Is the contactless one a different brand? I've never looked in to this but probably should.

Yes. 150k life then a $200-500 fix needed
