Wanted: Rear Clusters To Prevent Scrapping

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

Wanted: Rear Clusters To Prevent Scrapping

Post by Amonra » Wed Dec 15, 2010 9:28 am

A few months ago a guy crashed into my beloved 480 while i was parked. To make matters worse he left the scene of the crash. An hour later i found my 480 with a dented mudguard, broken rear bumper and rear clusters. Luckily there was a street camera which caught the crash and after a lot of police and court involvement the guy admitted and his insurance will pay for my repairs. BUT they told me that if they do not find a replacement for the rear clusters at a good price, they will declare my beloved 480 as a total loss, give me a ridiculously low sum of money and scrap her.

So i need a decent pair of rear clusters to prevent my otherwise perfect 480 from being scrapped.

Please help !!

Hi Michael

I can try and find a pair in the UK and ship out if there is time , but would need to know in advance what would be regarded as a "good price" and would need to be paid prior to shipping out to Malta if I got the parts.

Sorry I did not get back to you earlier but I had just sold my spare pair of rear clusters but it has taken a long time to finalise the deal due to circumstances.

There would be no guarantees but I would know before Christmas if I could find a pair.

Thats the best I could do I am afraid.

regards jim

I'm afraid in Malta it's not as easy to negotiate with insurances as they are generally described as mafia !

Thanks for your offer Jim, I have to check with the insurance about the price they are willing to pay but if you can have a look around in the meantime and have an idea of what they generally go for, it would be great.

You are expecting about £40/50 per cluster add postages and it should be £120 maximum.
