Unless the warranty covers the convertible top, I wouldn't worry about it, because that's about the only thing that may give you a problem within the warranty period AND cost you a good bit of $$.
I had 2 issues with my T5 that were covered under the extended warranty within 100k miles and those cost the warranty company about $350 total.
 
by the way, expect about 24 mpg, and premium is recommended.

Gray on tan interior so not quite as sharp as the blue on tan IMO.
 
Pictures there
 
I haven't seen this car in person as it is at our Volvo dealer.
 
Full listing
 
The other C70 with the manual tranny is still listed as incoming so no pictures of it. The computer says it is Nautic blue though with no mention of interior color.

I was thinking the same thing. Don't know why bvdj84 feels he was treated poorly. If they can't do the price... then they can't do the price. No reason to take it personal.
 
I on the other hand had very good service today at the dealership.
 
I was going thru some puddles on the expressway a few days ago, my Mazda MPV hit a decent sized puddle, then started shuddering badly as if water had gotten in a plug or ignition coil. I immediately thought coil, as the OEM coils Mazda put in their MPV's have a reputation for early expiration. I had Autozone read the code, came back misfire in cylinder #5.
 
Took it into the dealership today and was in and out in under an hour. The service advisor did a good job in explaining the problem. Asked if I had a trans. fluid change yet, which I already had. The repair was covered under warranty. Which would have been around a $130 job.

You have a manual tranny coming? Ooohh... keep me posted - unless you mean a new one which would obviously be out of my territory.
 
I'm about to look at the pictures...

The manual tranny one is a 2004 model as well but no mileage or price listed yet since it is not ready.

Also, its not a deal that no one will offer, it is a deal that other dealers are offering, and they simply come back to me, and say "No!" we cannot offer it. I reply, "so, you are going to let me walk right out the door, when I am ready to buy?"
 
Simple question. hope it will answer your confused mind, and mine as well.
 
Why don't you buy it from the dealer that is "offering" the price that you want? What is the point of going to the dealer that is "not offering" the price?
 
Is this some kind of high-school logic that everybody wants to date the girl that says " No" to a date?

Oh, well... do tell when it is. Years ago I had an exploding clutch issue on a Volvo but it was a 1969 and while it went through a couple only the original was remotely Volvo's fault. This was way back when somebody was "a god foreign car mechanic," even when he wasn't. Once I switched mechanics I never had a problem again.
 
I looked at that one you linked and then two others at different dealers in your group. Man oh man....

"you do own a Lexus and a Acura if I remember correctly just taking a little shot at ya "
 
Doesn't everybody?
 
Yeah, but when I head into The Hub of the Universe, I usually take the T! I kinda know what you mean about the directions to the pizza shop. But, being South Shah, on the rare occasion I go to Logan (TF Green in Warwick, RI fan here ...) I take the Teddy Tunnel. And, of course, my chances!
 
Ya know, even with the price of gas about to nick me for $4/gallon, driving to DC and back was still less expensive than Amtrak or flying. Even w/tolls. Not counting wear and tear on the TL, of course... Just an observation.
 
And, New Haven for me was when I was resident of the Great State of Connecticut. Oh, so long ago. Go Huskies!
 
Tried to go home on the way back from DC. My, how things change...
 
(The Fairfield County Border Guards checked my tax returns for the last few years. They wouldn't let me off I95 as I would have cut the per capita in half! )

Yeah our Volvo dealer has a lot of good CPO cars as they are trying to be the number one CPO Volvo dealer within the next few years. I think they are 14th or something right now. We also have a smaller Volvo dealer that carries a few good CPOs as well.

Thanks for the tip on the new Doo Wop Special. I love those. Now if we can just find a sucker who has a 5 couple SUV.
