Volvo 480ES AUTO - 1994
Posted: 26 May 2008 10:01 pm
Well guys, it's time to say goodbye to POPPY my beloved 480es 2lt Auto.
I bought her last August after a serious accident left me unable to drive manuals. I'm more or less fixed, have started driving manuals again and despite the fact she has served me well I need the space in the drive.
Right...where to start
480ES 2lt auto in black, M reg, 103k on the clock. Tax til Aug 08 - MOT til Feb 09
Aircon has just been regassed so nice and cool. All electrics, speedo/info centre, mirrors, windows, moon roof, aerial, locking with full closure, lights, volt/oil pressure gauge in good working order, rear wiper is a tad temperamental though.
She has a decent rear load cover and half leather interior however the drivers seat bolster is a little worn where I kept catching my wheelchair on it
The odd patch of surface rust has started to rear it's ugly head in the usual places (wheel arch and driver door sill) but this is nothing that a little TLC wouldn't cure. There is a slight rattle from the exhaust heat shield when she is stationary, in gear.
She has the usual carpark/gatepost dinks (nothing obvious) but I'm a woman driver! that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it
She is a 14 year old car but she drives like a dream and I don't think I'm robbing anyone by asking £550 for her.
I'll post more pics when the weather is better but I'm not getting soaked for anyone tonight.
I'm located on the Notts/Derby border. If you're interested drop me a PM or give me a shout on 07936 729907.
Cheers for reading this
