by Tim Healey

Published: August 27th, 2024

A bit late today because of travel to the West Coast, but I present to you a 2004 Volvo C70.

Our seller says it has been well-maintained over two decades and 139K miles, and even presents a long list that includes the timing belt, water pump, tie-rod ends, and more.

Features include heated seats and dual-zone climate control.

Yes, the convertible top works.

You can find this drop-top in Rhode Island for $5,500. Click here for more.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

  For this vintage, probably not much.

  Nearly zero, the model was developed from 1994-96 and the convertible debuted in 1998 in the US as an MY98. The successor P1 C70 was a joint Ford-Volvo-Mazda effort.

SilverHawk During the time of the annual model year changes, Motor Trend would do a Preview edition that included actual pencil drawings of new grills and taillights, along with whatever spy photos they had. Those pencil drawings were supplied by the manufacturers. At the time, I had friends at AMC and Ford who made these drawings available to MT.
Todd Reasland "For the SV, the FWD starts at $23,680 and AWD adds $25,330. " Yikes...25K more to get AWD? :)
1995 SC I think it's different now and the manufacturers just sort of leak them to the desired automotive "influencers" but it is still interesting with some cars. The C8 was a good example because it was such a radical change.
ECurmudgeon One wonders why they didn't just go with a fleet of RHD Ford Transits, but the answer is, of course, "money."
