1999 C70 LT Coupe, Overall a Good Car

Bought this car used with about 30,000 miles. I've owened now for 6+ years, very little problems. I had an issue with the turbo (was leaking and had it repaired for about $150). Other than that, it has been a pretty good car. The only issue with this model (and the dealers I've visited agreed with me on) is the ABD braking system. It is flaky and kicks in during normal braking conditions. One issue I had recently was with the switching panel on the dirver door that controls the windows, the unit blew up while I was driving and I saw smoke come out inside the car. I ordered a brand new unit for about $145 (if I remember correctly) and replaced it myself. Other than that, it's been fun
Drive It Until 300K

This was our first new car. It's been an every day commuter since we bought it. We had almost zero problems for the first 100K miles. After that, only the seat motors have gone out and a few minor electrical problems. The reliability seriously rivals an Accord. Also, it's surprisingly quick for only 200 HP. Finally, it's built like a tank. Girly men need two tries to swing the doors shut. That may sound like a downside, but I hate the tinny feeling of a 3 series BMW. And, for a two-door, the back seat is amazingly roomy. A 5'10" man can sit very comfortably for a long ride.
Great Car

This Car has everything! From a turbocharged 236 HP engine to the safety features that you would expect from a volvo. When you floor it you had better be pointed in the direction you want to go, cause this baby goes! If you're going to but a C70, buy it used. I got mine for a little over 19K, with only 35,000 miles. The only thing you could get new for that price is a loaded Honda Civic!
Good Volvo Coupe

I have always owned a Volvo and when the C70 made it debut, I traded in a S70 for it. I purchased it in March 1999 and have had few (barely any) problems with it. One minor issue was resolved with the suspension after a visit to the dealership. The car handles great, has more than enough power and gets plenty of stares from other drivers. I have definitely enjoyed owning this one.
Fun Car
