here's another 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.

At least this one is not in the several thousand bracket. Still overpriced just going by wheel arches and ropey rear lights.

It had a new speedo in 2006-7, and a few mot fails thereafter. Mileage went down from 69000 in 2006 to 360 in 2007. By 2015 it had climbed steadily if somewhat slowly to 33000 at which point it jumped mysteriously to 119000, from where it has edged to the 121k shown on the last mot, which expires in October. So, it looks like the mileage is overstated by about 20k, but the general condition and mot history are consistent with a reasonably well maintained 100k miler.

Hopefully someone new will acquire her & join the fold. ;)

If I’ve done this right, here’s the link to M_AAF on The Secret Life of a 480 owner, detailing some of the things I’ve been up to:

Couldn’t agree more, great club.
