Volvo c70 t5 turbo buying advice

[welshjohn]

Hi all

After a hunt for a car which would be sutiable for a little one on the way we purchased a nice clean 04focus estate So with that purchased i have a whole 2k spare and the approval to buy a toy.Been liking the volvos for a while so have decided to buy a c70 t5 2 door coupe .so will be looking at 99-2002 models which seem to fall within this range.Now all the ones we have seen all have 80,000 + mls on the clock which from reading does not matter if been looked after.Now for my question what do we need to look for to make sure we get a good one i know service history is a must but is there any common problems these volvos have.

regards john

Your comments are helping a lot thanks
I am not going to rush out and by one it has to the right one i like the sound of the gt model.it will need to have stacks of history etc before i even consider one.AS regards to the handling would urating the suspension help slightly lowerd?
