1987 Volvo 780 Bertone
I have a 1987 volvo 780 Bertone, and I am looking to sell it. There really isn't a market for them and I am wondering if it would be considered a collectors car? How much do you think I should ask for it? It has 250 000 k on it, however the nearest volvo dealership has told me it is in excellent condition mechanically (The engine has been rebuilt). It runs great. The body is in excellent condition as well. I had a spoiler put on and it has after market low-profile rims as well as a stereo system. But I have no idea what to ask for it! I've had some people say 10,000$ and some say 2,000$! Does anyone have any ideas?

They came with B230FT or the PRV motor. 24 years later, the turbo motor is much preferred. The uniqueness of the 780 is both a blessing and a curse. The car brings out strong opinions in lots of people. Finding interior trim as well as sheet metal is a genuine chore and will only get worse. At this late date, to continue using it as a daily driver would probably not be wise. 250k is not high miles per year...but it's still a quarter million miles. Typically, Volvos w/ much more than 80k really don't sell for a premium unless it's a frame off resto. If someone paid 3k for the car it would be someone looking specifically for that model and that year. 1800-2500 on the high end.

The car only has about 156,000 miles (250,000 km). I agree with you about the car being a pain to find parts for. The 960's are enough pain being Volvo's flagship for a few years. The rarety of it is nice but if it's less than 90% like new it's just a car that will get harder to fix as days go by. And if it's not turbo it's not worth much.
