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.

I believe I'm right in saying Paris blue wasn't introduced in the UK until 1990-1 (93 on the continent) and this has colour coded bumpers anyway so post face lift.

From three photos with a carefully hidden license plate we have to guess the mileage, engine, service history, country and price. :nuts:

Well, by downloading the photos so we can see the whole picture, it's a turbo. Can't make out if it's left or right hand drive, or whether there is a high level brake light. I'm guessing the house is not in the UK as it has external window blinds, aircon and plants in pots but of course, that doesn't mean it's not an English car. It has the lambda sign on the panel next to the door lock, so it's not French. This is fun - has the car been lowered ? Are the windows really tinted ? Do we get any clues on mechanical condition ?

Good luck with the sale but I agree with the others about how much this is a guessing game!

From the second photo it's a left-hand drive - you can just see the dashboard and the way round that the wipers sit gives it away.

I can't comment on any other country but that degree of tint on the front windows and windscreen would be very much illegal in the UK...

Yeh, been lowered. Horrible exhaust - I like paris blue though, don't see many. Missing it's front spoiler/splitter, rear wiper cover and rear water jet thingy. Late wing mirrors. Quite like the tinted windows, but would be illegal here. Looks like it has a black roof??

Well I guess no one from the UK is going to be tempted to go to Serbia for it. :eek:
