Raider,
Apart from the obvious:
A) Check out the FAQ's at
http://www.volvo-480-europe.org/index2.html
B) Their messageboard at
http://pub32.ezboard.com/bvolvo480
C) Read the section "buying" under the heading "the volvo 480" of the website
http://www.volvo480register.nl/nl/
D) Take a long testdrive
E) Make sure you get an 'all-in' warrantee for e.g. three months.
and last but certainly not least
F) My 'diary' at
http://www.pistonheads.com/members/s....asp?carId=296
might include some usefull clues ;))
Anyway, good hunting
