Q: General question
Hi there, I'm deciding whether or not to purchase a used, obviously, 2011 C70 Volvo. I'm being warned about maintenance and repair costs. I'm specifically concerned about the convertible top maintenance/repair costs. Any input on reliability in general and costs associated with maintenance and repairs would be greatly appreciated. I do completely understand that you are not giving me anything that is a written guarantee and simply your expert advice/opinion.
Thank you in advance.
