Looking at a 2000 C70 conv.....No, BAD car! C70 2000

Seriously, steer clear of ANY C70 convertable as they're one of Volvos worst cars ever built. You will have costly convertable problems often plus the window regulars (all C70s) are very poorly designed, designed to fail and they're also very costly to replace.
The steering wheel shake is normal, common in all FWD convertables and called "cowl shake" due to design, lack of structural support. If it has Perelli tires, those are known to get flat spots from sitting, not good tires but compared to an S70 or V70, the C70 convertable will always have that front end vibration effect as if there's something loose. That can't be fixed.
I'd highly advise not buying any C70 convertable, especially if you want its top to go down and back up again on occasion w/o costly problems.
