Wow, I think we've hit a new record for the highest price with the fewest words!!

Only joking fella.

That is strong money, but if it does genuinely have 9.5k on the clock then that does make it somewhat special

So, a bit more description would help, as in manual or auto, history etc.

But as always... Pictures speak a thousand words

Good luck with the sale, I hope such a rare car finds a good home.

I have a red Celebration myself, but with CONSIDERABLY more milage!!

you need to confirm the mileage as most people will read it as a typo!

We seem to have a rash of very poorly worded for sale posts just now.

To make a good sale you need to put up a full description photos of all 4 sides, the engine bay, if claiming perfect rear arches then you need close ups of these.
Given the unusual mileage a photo of instrument panel and to corroborate it the mileages at the last four or 5 MOTS. It is the low mileage that adds value in this case.
Photos of the interior including of the boot without the carpets , and the spare wheel well and tool well.
Detailed service history and does the boot leak and what comes as standard .

How has it been kept / stored ,how long has it been off the road. Does everything still work?

What is the general history of the car ? Location etc..

If it's in the condition of a 9.5k car then that's a bargain but your ad does need a bit adding to it!

I have to echo the posts above in all respects.

Furthermore, immediate questions you might like to head off by explaining in advance are that, (1) if it really does only have 9,500 miles on it, where has it been for all of its life? (2) if applicable, how long has it been stored or off the road? and (3) what sort of service history does it have?

Good luck though with the sale!

My 480 has 10,400 miles on the clock, due to a new Volvo speedo fitted in 2009. I will take £1800 for it with 10,400 miles or £800 for it with 132,000 miles on it.
