2004 Volvo C70 Volvo Center San Antonio

I'm considering purchasing a 2004 C70 convertible from the Volvo
Center in San Antonio. There are 2 available with prices from $ 23977
(36K miles) to $24377 (27K miles). I have never purchased a car from a
dealer before and I'm a little suspicious of car salesmen. My credit
is not great but they have approved me. I haven't discussed the
details with them yet nor have I seen the cars (I live 100 miles away
and found the cars on the web). Thought I'd do some more research
before I meet with them.


Any advice on this model an/or dealership would be greatly appreciated!

 

I would call this a pretty fair deal. The price is about on market and
the mileage is low for a four year old car. Everything I've seen of
the C70 seems to be OK. Personally, I avoid turbos but that's getting
more difficult over time and is a personal preference.

I last bought from a dealer 30 years ago but that's really because I
have found everything I needed elsewhere. I *truly* appreciate your
suspicions of used car salesmen.

On balance, buying from an authorized dealer gives you a strong hand
in dealing with warranty issues since you have the vendor behind you.

As a final thought, I would check with the guys in Austin to see what
they have but, all in all, I would feel fairly comfortable proceeding
with either vehicle.
