Default Volvo C70 1998

Hello,

New to Volvo, and I like it!

I had myself a V70 from 1998 on LPG. Loved it, but it got burned (they don't take 200km as a top speed for long, apparently). But it was a nice car and I got kind of happy with the Volvo brand. They are pleasant to drive.

Now I have a good deal on a C70 2.3R, 1998, 240PK. I can trade in my old V70; that always makes it interesting. This C70 it's engine got +/- 150.000km (90.000 miles?) and is in revision now. The guy selling it, does his own Volvo's, mainly 850's and wanted to extra turbo-charge it (to 300pk). So, the engine's hat's off.

Now that I'm going to buy it, he will not...
I guess I would kill myself ;-)

So, my questions:
[LIST][LIST=1]
  • What do I have to watch out for and how to take best care of this car?
  • It hasn't got LPI, so I will want to install it. Any tips?

I would appreciate any tips, for sure.

With kind regards,
Timoo
