Volvo C70 Convertible T5
Discussion
They are pretty bomb proof, just make sure they have been serviced on time and I guess the cam belt is going to be due soon.
Other things to watch for & check
1. Poor turning circle (nothing can be done)
2. Engine mount (poly bush should it need it)
3. Suspension parts can wear, check top mount, anti roll bar links and the usual
4. Check for rips in the roof both up & down, there can be excessive wear on the inside creases
5. Gear changes should be smooth and fairly instant, check kick down (oil change if not done)
6. They eat front tyres for breakfast
7. Check TRACS/Traction control works
8. once moving, the car should be fairly rapid
Great cars!

If its creaks on full lock dont worry just needs re-greasing. Easy and cheap to.
Put the drivers and passengers windows up and down a few times, if they dont sound too clever or one is slower than the other noticeably the motor is probably going to need replacing, not cheap!
Also if its a 6cd changer make sure it works.
