Hey, what car 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.

This is just an oridinary 1987 ES 1.7 that has been resprayed. The original colour was blue. The seller used a lot of black spray on the bumpers to make it look more attractive to potential buyers. Maybe he pencilled the seat belt locks. Who cares. It's apparent his German knowledge is near nil.
His description is:
no rust, new paint job, new rear shocks, new time belt

This car is no match for your Turbo. It would cost you a small fortune to get it to [s]Switzerland[/s]Portugal?

480s partner is from Portugal ;) But I don't think that this small detail has allowed to reduce transport costs :wink:
