check out the mileage on this one....

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.

If that mileage is genuine, and all faults have been sorted out, it would go for at least 8,000 here. This is one of the lowest mileages I've ever seen on a normal roadgoing car.

I really don’t understand pricing at the moment.

Yes it has amazing low mileage but its condition does to me not look a lot different to the Special Edition (with only 55,000 miles) that just sold with one bid of £300. I would have seriously thought about it if my circumstances hadn’t just changed.

Are what looks like genuine cloth mats worth that much extra. :lol:

reading between the lines, he bought it to sell on.

Started to prep it for MOT, discovered the ABS relays had been removed.

Now it's being broken.....

Original eBay ad was updated as mileage incorrect. Actual mileage 50k not 19k, but still a shame to see it broken.

Asking big money for parts.

headlights, pop-up motors, front and rear clusters and instument cluster = £600.
1994 480GT - arrived!!
XC60 and XC70 for the daily grind.
C70 Coupé Convertible for the sunny days. Should sell it but can't!
