We recently search all the way to Europe to find one of these, as they’re true favorites. The question here is whether anyone can drive it in the US, especially CA…hmm. If it was a 1988 model, we know EPA would be okay, but 1989?

$9,500 starting with ZERO bids
07/22/2013 update: Ended with no bids. We’re guessing questions ‘registerability’ scared people off.
Why, pray tell, was this not good enough for the US market?? Oh, that’s right, we supposedly don’t buy hatches.
Four-seater arrangement is badass, if not 100% practical.
Yum…

Very rare 1989 Volvo 480 Turbo, this car was imported from Europe from a Volvo dealer who used it as a display model in their showroom. It is one of the only 480 Turbos known to be in the US. It is in immaculate condition and has right at 80,000klms on the odometer or 50,000 miles. This 480 turbo is all original with the exception of a upgraded cd player. This 480 turbo runs incredible and is exceptionally clean. Please contact me with any questions.
