Looking at a 2000 C70 conv.....Good Deal?? C70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Dave in WV on  Sun Aug 28 01:56 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I'm looking at purchasing a 2000 C70 Convertible. The car is a one-owner with all services completed by the original dealer. It has 68k miles and is a light pressure, with 17" wheels and the sc901 3 CD unit. It has the front center channel, not sure if has dynaudio package or not. Car drives good, with everything functional and tight. The only thing I noticed is the front end has a shimmy [I'm thinking out-of-balance and alignment] that is noticeable above 30mph. I've driven a few other convertible and the majority also had some front end shimmy or looseness. Is this typical of the convertible? I presently own a '01 v70,'98 S70 and a '93 245 and have owned a dozen other Volvos, so I'm used the some of the "undocumented features" of the breed. Don't want to make a bad purchase, but I am not well versed on the convertibles [My wife is having a mid-life crisis about a convertible]. Any advice would be greatly appreciated....

Dave
