Can't believe the mileage of this one! Looks like it's been loved every day of its life, price is high but it's quite close to classic status now. I love these cars so much, real oddballs.

I did see this one. I love the 480's and always keep an eye out for a one that may take my fancy! But, even with that mileage, i doubt he'll get anywhere near that kind of money for it!

Indeed, it's steep to say the least, but he only needs one classic Volvo enthusiast with a tonne of wedge.

Hehehehe, I wish, saving for a house mate so can't be blowing it all on Volvos (as much as I'd like to have half a dozen or so). Actually, I'm going to start a thread on classics now. ;)

I want a 480 - have done for a while, but would need to get rid of MR2 first - and its trading a 100% reliable Jap car for a Car renound for electrical faults.

The 2.0l ones were apparently way better on the reliability stakes

Ludicrous asking price; still, I suppose it's worth a try, might be an idiot out there. I'd want to see paperwork to back up that mileage claim & if it's genuine it's still worth less than £1000.

I had a 1.7 and apart from a new starter, there were no other problems at all. In fact it was very reliable indeed.

White V70/850's are cool. Not keen on a white 480 though... Don't shoot me, it's only my personal opinion! :)

I like those dark colours too. Didn't they do a medium-dark metalic grey for the 480 ? I think that was my fav.
