Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

No your probably right, his reply was:

"I am not buying 480 parts only selling. nuts? and meets? what does that mean? Sorry, did not understand the point.thanks anyway.eddy."

i think he totally misunderstood. i said there were other 480 nuts out there and there were often meets. I thought i was onto something then! :lol:

To be honest, i dont see how he couldnt understand, it clearly says on the ad he wants to create a 480 world! What a fool!! :shock:

What a weird person. Very strange descriptions in his item listings... 'Zippy', '480 Sat Nav'? WTF? :lol:

His 12 negative feedbacks all seem to have a certain consistency... Good spot Jim!

If you enter a bid then by the end of the listing you win and he has to deliver you a Volvo 480. If not complain to Ebay.
imho it's a scammer.

... Well, this is interesting.. I was enquiring about the talking sat nav, the rare under dash volvo facsimile machine and some turbo engines:
Hi,

480 Sat Nav (original volvo sat nav in 480 volvo from volvo ) 480. only with 480.
will not separate, to good and somewhat cruel.

yes, sat nav talking 480 car available 1995/1996 GT only 250 ever made in the world. mot tax nice car.

Re: under dash modules yes, make me an offer, if you like.

How many turbo engines do you require and what year & type - (with or without turbos, if with which turbo's) or would any type suffice?

offers on the engine as single or engines as a bulk please. thank you.
How odd. Watch out.
