Welcome to the forum
I hate to dampen your spirits but there's so much to list when looking to buy a 480. Lots of niggly electrical, engine and water ingress problems but they can be rectified. Best to buy from someone who knows and cares for their car. Some very nice examples have been advertised on here over the last few months. Also have a look over on Volvo 480 Club Europe for more detailed info. And, of course, don't forget the search option

That's grand then...make sure you pick one up with the rear arches missing. Steve's a dab hand with the filler these days
