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.

DungBeetle62 For where we're at in the product cycle, I think there are bigger changes afoot. With this generation debuting in 2018, and the Avalon gone, is the next ES to be Crown based? That'll be an interesting aesthetic leap.
Philip Precht When Cadillac stopped building luxury cars, with luxury looks, that is when they started their downward spiral. Now, they just look like Chevrolet knock-offs, not much luxury, no luxurious looks. Interiors are just generic. Nothing what they used to look like. Why should someone spend $80,000 on a Cadillac when they can spend a LOT less and get a comparable looking Chevrolet????

28-Cars-Later This question has been posed many times and we discussed it in depth around the time of the ATS and JdN. Then GM had 933 dealers left over from its glory days and ATS was intended to be volume lease fodder for all of those dealer customers. But of course the problem there is channel stuffed junk worked against the image they ostensibly were trying to create when they threatened products like Escala (and the image they thought they were creating with ELR). Cadillac had two choices in my view at the time, either drop 2/3rds of the dealers and focus on truly bespoke low volume product or abandon the pretense of exclusive/bespoke and build high volume models as they had essentially been doing since the last 1960s. Ten years on the choice they made was obvious, hence XT everything... XT an acronym for Xerox This when pointing at Chevrolets and Buicks.There's no "saving" a marque which doesn't wish to be saved. In the next major financial crisis Buick may be folded or consolidated into Chevrolet but Cadiwrack will just become a wrapper over whatever Chinesium infused junk the new openly owner/controlled SAIC GM wants it to be. Cadillac been gone for a long, long time.
