Title: And she's gone!
Post by: AcidicDavey on 07 October 2012, 15:23

So I sold my blue CC today for £830, very pleased! I made a nice little profit for my time with her.

I guess it's time to get my 480 out the garage now, very excited!

How long until someone posts "You'll be back!"?

They're fun little cars, not many left either.

Nice price, hard to sell an 8v for that these days.

I liked the onboard computer and pop up lights.

I'll probably get told off for this but...

Different wheels and a touch of lowering and I'll have a nice car  :cool:

I a recovering Volvo owner, pissed all our money away on various sports barges :grin:
Had quite a few turbo and V6 240's, 760 GLE's (both types) 960 360's etc etc, then she said your not having another Volvo and made me buy a Mk2 Golf GTI (I'm on number 7) :whistle:

Leave it standard mate...much as it pains me to say it, not every car 'needs' to be lowered.

I have been in 2 minds whether to actually bother lowering it, definitely going to buy some fancy wheels though!
Some Lensos or similar.

Looks stunning...

A guy at work has one of those, the turbo version. Lowered 40mm on springs.  Pretty cool.  :cool:
