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.

150000 Miles

Post by suddy » Tue Sep 13, 2011 6:35 pm

Rolled over 150000 miles in my 480 today... Bought it with 69000 on the clock nearly 7 years ago, drove it regularly to Europe (as far as Hungary and Slovenia sometimes), drove it to work, drove it everywhere really...

Always said that when I'd done 150k in it, I'd get rid of it, but now it's got there, I'd like to drive it 150k more!

Here's to my Volvo 480! Hope there any lots more miles left in it yet! :cheers:

Congrats, mate: looking forward myself in the near future seeing those 'magic' figures on the clock of my '88 ES ... only have now some two thousand odd miles to go, and the engine still spins as sweetly as a nut. In spite of having seen comments in various places i.e. VOC in the U.K. that sparking plugs need to be changed regularly, can't remember when they were last changed; maybe it helps my regularly putting injector cleaning additive in the gas tank.

Cheers.
