For Sale: Volvo 480 Turbo, White, '92

Post by pol » Sat Jun 26, 2010 5:59 pm

Hi all,

So i'm selling my 480 Turbo. Reason: Just don't need one right now. I don't need a car for work (train commuter and cyclist) and will probably buy some crappy runaround instead.

This one has been well looked after. I have only owned it for just over a year but have fixed any niggles with it. It has been kitted out with any nice 480 stuff that I have acquired over the years and it is a very good example.


MOT'd today.
Tax until end of October.
Serviced a few weeks ago.
Replaced a brake caliper yesterday and brakes blead.
Brake pads good.
Recently replaced steering universal joint which has really made it responsive.
4 good tyres.
87ish thousand miles.
Momo volvo steering wheel (quite rare).
Perfect idle.
Runs very well indeed.
Longlife stainles steel exhaust backbox and mid section (designed by and purchased from Rpruen on this forum.) It is not a 'chavvy' exhaust, simply based on the original but supposedly with 3x the flow of the standard pattern exhaust. Should last a long time. Not really any louder than the standard note.
K+N panel filter. Again, not a chavvy modification, just helping the car breathe and saves money on services.
Half leather seats.
Seatbelt arms intact!
Spare seatbelt arms.
Spare sunroof pins.
Kenwood speakers front and rear.
*Stereo head unit will not be included*
Analogue clock fitted (Digital clock in the glove box if you fancy a change).
Arches in pretty good condition. You can see a small amount of surface rust in the pics. This is not serious and can be removed. I renovated the arches when purchased and there is a good bit of underseal type thing up there.
Door hinges good (these commonly break).[/list]

Usual fading rear clusters are one has a crack.

Have a look at these snaps. The paint is good, no dents. It has been washed today but not polished and I think it still looks ace. Oh, and white IS the new black. It is a lot cooler for the summer! :wink:

Price - to you guys, £950.

Located in Eastbourne, East Sussex.

Probably loads more things I could say / have forgotton. Please ask for any details I have missed out, i'll be happy to answer.

I've found myself doing this quite a lot recently, but I'm interested - I've sent a PM. Do you have a number I can contact you on to arrange having a look? I live quite nearby.

SOLD!

I'm no longer a 480 owner but am sure it's gone to a good home.
