used car of the day 1988 volvo 780 bertone

Today we're going north of the border to the home of our parent company to bring you this 1988 Volvo 780 Bertone.

This is one is apparently pretty clean with only minor wear and tear and plenty of parts that have been replaced with new ones over time as part of regular maintenance. There are 86,000 kilometers on the odometer.

The vehicle was involved in a collision in 2017.

The seller has put very few miles on it recently -- just 3,000 km in the past four years.

The asking price is $15,000 CAD/CDN and you can see this car here.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

The Volvo diff centres are strong and good for racing.

  Better to go with Ford 9 inch. More parts and multiple gearing choices.

  Lou, its according to what application you want. We use them in the speedway on inline 6's (GMH) more than strong enough. 9" diffs are a great diff. Its horses for courses.

Wjtinfwb I foresee HUGE rebates on this. The "quasi-Safari" look on 911s is one think on a 150k plaything. It's another when slapped on a 40k EV with a 20k premium.
Wjtinfwb 100k. What happened to the 40k version I reserved back a year + ago? Regardless, since you could by a new Silverado Trail Boss V8 for 60k and put the remaining 40k in a Money Market at 4-5%, why would anyone spend the extra $$$? And please don't make it about the environment. Moving a 3 ton truck through the air is going to take a lot of energy and energy doesn't fall out of trees. Whether Solar, Wind, Nuclear or Mermaid farts, there's a financial and environmental impact. Why not go with the least expensive impact?
Wjtinfwb Oh boy. These "over the air" updates really concern me as well, so much that I've disabled the feature on my '23 Bronco. No issues yet but if a software company the caliber of Apple is challenged by these updates, my confidence in Ford (or GM, Stellantis, BMW, etc.) ability to execute them flawlessly is more than suspect.
