A great second hand

Advantages Solid, reliable and fun to drive!!
Disadvantages Parts can be expensive,
I've had my Volvo 480 Turbo for 3 years since which I've done about 50,000 miles. Most of these have been a shear pleasure.
If you want a solid reliable car, with alittle bit of power behind it and also not a car which ever other person seems to have then I think you would be hard pushed to find something better.
Mines a 1990 and has done 150,000 miles and still runs strong. I've heard problems about the turbos but mine has been fine.
Parts can be expensive a new clutch cost me £300 fitted. If you went to Volvo agent you could probably double that.
The boot leaking can also be a problem as can the pop-up head lights.
The volvo name means quality, safety and reliability and you certainly get this with a 480.
Its a shame that they stopped making them and didn't replace them with anything else.
A future classic?

I would guess from reading your review that you have not done a lot of reading on site. Ciao is difficult when you start, but when you start to read, rate and comment, you get to understand the site a little better, and then you can update your old reviews and make them even better. I like Volvo, good cars, but I always drove the big ones !!
