1995 Volvo 480 Turbo Collection Edition 5-Speed

This 1995 Volvo 480 Turbo is #44 of 480 Collection Edition examples produced for the European market. It is powered by a turbocharged 1.7-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle and finished in Dark Gray Metallic over gray leather. Equipment includes 15″ alloy wheels, air conditioning, heated front seats, a vehicle information display, pop-up headlights, fog lights, and a Blaupunkt CD player. The car was originally sold by Karl Theis Volvo of Munich, Germany, and was imported into the US by the selling dealer in April 2021. Subsequent service included installing Bilstein dampers, replacing the front control arms, changing the oil, and dry-ice cleaning the undercarriage. This 480 shows 106k kilometers (~67k miles) and is now offered with import documents, manufacturer’s literature, service records, and a clean South Carolina title.
