Going to look at a 480 in a couple of hours. Can't quite tell if I think it's cool or an abomination haha.
Anyone had one? Opinions?
Cheers
Rob

Friend had a G reg turbo from new. Seemed nice car - until he forgot to get it serviced / checked oil. I was offered it for just what the garage wanted paying for the repairs (£1500) which was cheap for a 3-4 year old car but hadn't the spare money  So I'd say as long as everything in order- check all electrics work as I THINK they can be troublesome "go for it"  Paul h |

This one is a poverty spec auto one.. but it's got a few months MOT and it's cheap. I have read that the electrics can be a bit sketchy but I'm not sure how to check? I guess just make sure all the lights work, headlights flip up etc? My main concern is always rust as I seem to have terrible luck with it haha.

A mate of mine got his missus a late one with the 2.0 Volvo engine and I drove it home for him because he doesn't have driving other cars cover. Very comfortable, interesting and quite nippy, pretty decent in the bends if a little under-damped, but it may just have been the dampers on this one. Overly light, slow steering with feck all feel and a very jerky autobox were all that let it down. I'd have one cheap, they're interesting cars, shouldn't be to pricey to run and should be reliable being a Volvo, although the 1.7 is a Renault engine...

Bought it haha. £280 with 8 months MOT, no tax though. Still.. £280 seemed alright.
Bit rusty, bit tatty, electrics all seemed fine from what I could see. Headlights popped up! Yeahhhh.
Took it round the block, never driven an automatic before so that was kind of weird.. not sure if I was into it but we can see how it goes. Going to pick it up this week, need to sort some insurance out!
Cheers guys

£280 for a 480 is very cheap, billy bargain had there I think.
