What colour is this?

Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

Kind of nice for the 480..., or maybe not?

Not a clue I'm afraid, looks great though.

True, but this price is even to dutch standards unreallistic. €4500, dream on. Maybe he can get €3500
if he's VERY lucky. On the other hand the insurance is much cheaper over here, at least if your not a beginning driver.
I only pay €160 for a full year on my 480 incl a passengers insurance.

Gold

I've seen one other on ebay before, was a 1993 ES in the UK. I'm not sure if it was perhaps a limited edition or if it was sprayed to order by the owner. Given the bumper and mirrors are colour coded too I'd say it has been that colour form the start.

Still, its in very good nick

It says in the ad it's not the original color. It has been resprayed. I think the price is so high because of the low mileage, excellent condition and some rare options (parking heater, adjustable headlights).

The seller is a gold digger. The car is imported, my guess is from Sweden. There is no way to verify the mileage. The color is gold or platinum, not sure. Maybe platinum gold?
