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.

Verbal Rented a Malibu a while back. It was fine, if a bit gutless.I get that Detroit wants to go all-in on high profit margin SUVs and blinged-out MAGA trucks. Everyone has known for decades that they can't compete on price in the affordable sedan space. So now all of Detroit's sedans are gone except for a couple of Cadillac models.But you'd think that just one of the domestic brands could produce a fun, competitive and affordable sedan. Just one? Please? Anyone? Bueller?
