For Sale - 1995 Celebration

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.

For Sale - 1995 Celebration

Post by edie_fox » Tue Oct 06, 2020 5:10 pm

All going up in the ££££s now but just thought I'd share this from the VOC magazine.

Current MOT shows 99k. Not looked into it further but I imagine it's been well cared for by a club member. Aldershot area code. (Did read the guidelines and it didn't say no contact details in post but let me know if it's not and I'll alter it).

Given recent articles in VOC magazine about this car, and from what I recall on seeing it a few years back, I believe it is probably as good as you would like it to be! I know Chris Wickers knows it quite well and rates it very highly...

Good to see that the asking price is based on an insured value: at least it has some basis in reality that way, especially if the car was actually seen by an assessor. I know of at least one other 480 that was given a £4000 plus valuation recently by an insurance assessor for an agreed value.

Hopefully we are moving into a stage now where good 480s are starting to be worth decent money - I know that's hard if you are looking to buy and perhaps only relevant to an owner if you are looking to sell, but it's nice to think you might own an appreciating investment! The problem is the chancers who are seeking good money for bad rubbish...
