WANTED - 1994+ VOLVO 480 2.0 ES MANUAL

Post by volver » Wed Aug 15, 2007 4:08 pm

I'm on the hunt for a 1994 (or younger) Volvo 480 ES 2.0 with reasonably low milleage. Condition primary importance - but prefered colours are Paris Blue, Silver Grey and Metallic Green.

If you have one for sale or spot a good example - please let me know!

Willing to travel to view. But one of the Scottish contingent are surely ready to sell..

I'm sure they have enough between them to spare one, but beware, most of them are white!

Despite peoples opinions, white 480's are nice when kept well too. Just found this on the VOC forum. Looks pretty tidy and only 45k on the clock...

The 480 is one of the few cars that can carry off white (in my opinion) ... but if you look at the new BMW/AUDI/FORD's ... white is the new silver! :lol:
