Just a quick hello to all.

I live in the UK in Cheshire a small village called Great sutton some 12 miles from Chester, 20 miles from Liverpool.
At present I drive a 2 seater sports car.

I feel a bit of a fraudster, at present I don't own a Volvo but am looking to buy a C70 (convertible).
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to any faults I should be looking out for, are there any really bad points. Those who already own a C70 (covertible)would you buy another, any help would be appriciated.
I have my eye on one at present but not sure what to look for as I've never had a Volvo before. I'm lookimg at a 2003 model 15,000 miles £19,000 is this a fair price or should I haggle with dealer.

Two main problems the C70 models have are.1 The window regulators go bad and are expensive to replaced and you will always have wind noise.2 The tires wear wierd causing a very rough ride.
Good Luck searching

i have a c70 convertible and if you read my message labeled "noise from dashboard" it will explain the problem i am having. beautiful car, but very expensive to fix from dealer. also, a little short in the driver's seat if you are tall. over 5'8".
