C70 Roof
Hi Steve
This is purely an opinion formed by my limited experience. I've had my C70 T5 for 18 months, within the warranty period (mine is MY2006) the roof suffered catastrophic failure. The warranty company eventually settled on a goodwill payment that more than covered the cost of the repair (used a local garage). To get to the point, new parts could cost the earth, the part I required was a hydraulic ram. Volvo wanted £1094.00 but I acquired said part from a breakers for £170.00 delivered. The roof has worked fine since. IMO the C70 is a great looking car with the roof up or down & a great drive. Haven't read what your budget is or what year you're looking at but early Mk2's tax is something to watch. I've never driven Saab so I can't compare but if you only have a C70 for a short time, I think you will enjoy the drive. Just hope it's a good one, it's always the chance you take with second hand cars and where you purchase them.
Good luck
Fred
