Looking at a 2000 C70 conv..... C70 2000

posted by  someone claiming to be Dave on  Sun Sep 18 02:40 CST 2005 [RELATED]

The car was basically unchanged since '98 but its convertable system did improve to some extent. Its first two years, the tolerances for the convt. system were pretty tight so w/o doing anything, the car would flex slightly and a tech would see up to 12 fault codes that usually has nothing to do with the real problem whenever they'd malfunction. There was a recall on them too but that didn't really solve the issues IMO.
The newer C70s havent YET been as problematic with conv top issues but the other issues listed with that car went unchanged. It's a car to avoid unless you really love convertables and don't mind a few problems. When (not if) a window regulator breaks, they run about $500 each for the part PLUS labor, not a quick or easy job.
