Wanted: 480 automatic

Cleaned up the garage, found parts laying around, but it turned out to be a complete Volvo 480? If you want to sell your car (480 only) you can place an advert here.

Wanted: 480 automatic

Post by aidanmorris » Wed Apr 22, 2015 6:37 pm

Hello all

After 3 years of 480 ownership I'm considering a change.........from a manual to an automatic!

So if anyone out there has a roadworthy automatic that they would consider selling please let me know.

That certainly looks like a tidy motor you have their Rhigga but I'm a bit of an old traditionalist (or maybe I should say just a bit old!) so the lowered suspension and two tone wouldn't be for me. Thanks for sending though.

I really do have to bite the bullet and sell my Turbo. Its currently SORNd but have no doubt that it will fire up first time. It needs an MOT and the only things that need looking at are the SRS light comes on and then stays on. This is an easy fix with a bridge resistor. Airbag will still work!! It has been well looked after generally and I don't want a great deal for her. If you, or anyone else reading this, would like to come and have a look (no pressure to buy!!) then please let me know.

A few weeks ago there was a white 480 automatic advertised on autotrader for an eyewatering £2k. It's not there now and I haven't seen it advertised anywhere else so was just wondering if anyone out there knew what had become of it. I seem to recall it was in the Leicester area.

Cheers for the heads up James

Have fired off a few questions to the seller. Interested to see what price they want to put an MOT on it. If it's reasonable might well check it out.
