Volvo C70 (2003)
for sale
Price: US $1.00
Price: US $1.00
Up for auction is a 2003 C70 Volvo convertible.
I purchased the car in the fall of 2014 as a hobby to
exclusively drive open on a sunny day. For the price sold, I expected repairs and I was certainly not
disappointed.
I had the top replaced, including the inner liner and drive
motor. In addition, since I could not get information on the previously
performed maintenance, I had the service done that is required at the 120, 000
mileage including timing belt replacement etc., bought new tires, had a new battery
installed and took care of other items that I thought needed attention.
I spent more than $8, 000 for necessary and sometimes
unnecessary repairs, and to validate my claim of repairs and to avoid future
unnecessary repairs by the new owner I will provide the winning bidder with
copies of all repair bills as proof of my claim.
There is one item that I have not yet taken care of and that
is the antenna for the radio. It is not
a good idea to drive the car through a car wash with the antenna extended, not
even only a little bit! When I noticed it, I manually pushed the antenna down, but the motor is now not extending the antenna rod. It needs a new power radio
antenna mast assembly for a 2003 Volvo C70, that can be purchased over the
internet for less than $25 (or replaced by Volvo for about than $400 because
they only replace antenna and drive motor as an assembly). Since the radio works fine in my area
without the antenna extended and I use mostly CDs anyway, I put that repair on
the back burner and sort of forgot about it.
Otherwise, the car is now in excellent condition
and repair, clean inside and out, but my situation has changed so that I just
can't excuse a hobby of this nature parked mostly in the garage. It does not
make sense anymore.
