Zapcity, I think we are somewhat like-minded! Sorry I am not selling ;) but good luck with your search! David With all due respect, you would be nuts to sell! :nuts: I will get there but it may take a while!! Thanks to all for educating a novice. What's the score regarding the digital clock? Is it ...

Re: Time for my 1st 480!!

Shame you can't see from the photos whether that Paris Blue ES has got a traditional clock or a digital one - we all know that that can swing the value by at least £500! And if it's a traditional one, well, I've a spare digital clock which I was keeping for my pension but if the price is right now....

Re: Time for my 1st 480!!

I think it all boils down to what you are looking for, and what you are prepared to pay. The seller asks a price and a buyer is either willing to pay it or not. Certainly when I bought my GT 10 months ago I paid a lot of money for it, a sum that many on here would consider well over the odds in pri...

Re: Time for my 1st 480!!

Thanks David for the info. Always best to ask those who know!! Good point on the age. Perishable items and electrics will always need attention. I don't see any great demand for the non-Celebration, or GT models yet. Cars don't seem to be shifting quickly and I guess the higher prices cars just don'...

Re: Time for my 1st 480!!

Very tidy car on ebay: - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142186497610?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT As i'm new to the market i'm guessing this is top dollar for a relatively unspecial 480. Its the same price as the white 480ES on car and classic and looks in similar condition....

Re: Time for my 1st 480!!

Cheers Jay. Love the website and cool car/bike collection. Can totally relate with the craziness comments!! I spend countless weekends with my brushes, polishing pads and microfibre cloths detailing cars just for fun. Most people's idea of hell. Never join the Detailing World forum, it's a downward ...

Re: Time for my 1st 480!!

Hi David, Thanks for the reply. Is yours the stunning green GT (Lily) I've seen on the Volvo Forum? If it is its a picture. I love the care and attention you give it. I feel the same way about my cars, that's why I'm happy to wait for the perfect 480. This seems a friendly forum. The Volvo Forum can...

Time for my 1st 480!!

After owning many Volvos for the last 20+ years, it's time to scratch the itch. The wife had a brand new silver 480ES back in '88 and I've always wanted another, so as I have an empty garage and I want a new hobby, it's time to invest in a 480. I'm after as good a car as I can get as it will be a ke...

Re: Its a sibling celebration in Suffolk.

I pass this everyday and look on with envy!

Might have to knock on the door and see if they are interested in selling.

Holding out for a celebration or GT in this colour but no luck yet.
