The Volvo C70 ran from 1998–2013 across 2 generations (1997–2004, 2006–2013). Its Monroney label captures exactly how each one left the factory — the build, the options it was optioned with and the price, built around the 2.5L, 5-cyl, Regular fuel, Front-Wheel Drive powertrain.

What the Volvo C70 sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the C70, latest tested year 2013:
The label also prints an estimated $2,850 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 436 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the C70 under Subcompact Cars, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the C70's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1998 to 2013. Worth checking before you compare a C70 sticker from one year with another:
Over that span the combined figure rose by 2 mpg, so an early sticker and a recent one describe noticeably different cars. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.
What a used C70 sells for now
The label froze the C70 price on the day it left the factory; the market has moved since, and this is where it landed: median asking price of the C70 by model year, from 48 live US listings:
| Model year | Median asking price | Sample |
|---|---|---|
| 2012 | 22 listings | |
| 2011 | 9 listings | |
| 2008 | 8 listings | |
| 2006 | 9 listings |
A 2012 C70 asks a median $8,500 today, a 2006 about $9,100. Full breakdown on the Volvo C70 value page.

Where to find the VIN on a Volvo C70
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every C70, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Volvo C70 all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Volvo C70 whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
