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.

Thanked 1,841 Times in 1,058 PostsI 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!

Thanked 316 Times in 248 PostsIndeed, it's steep to say the least, but he only needs one classic Volvo enthusiast with a tonne of wedge.

Thanked 316 Times in 248 PostsHehehehe, 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.

Thanked 127 Times in 90 PostsI 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

Thanked 8 Times in 8 PostsLudicrous 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.

Thanked 316 Times in 248 PostsI had a 1.7 and apart from a new starter, there were no other problems at all. In fact it was very reliable indeed. Originally Posted by cookie

Thanked 388 Times in 253 PostsWhite V70/850's are cool. Not keen on a white 480 though... Don't shoot me, it's only my personal opinion!

Thanked 388 Times in 253 PostsI like those dark colours too. Didn't they do a medium-dark metalic grey for the 480 ? I think that was my fav.
