1989 Volvo 740 GL review from North America
"Great car for anyone"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing belt needed replacing.
Sunroof leaks.
General comments?
Excellent car, no major mechanical problems in the year that I have owned it.
It could be a little quicker. I recommend the turbo, I've driven both and it helps a lot.
Don't let the high miles scare you, Volvo's really do run forever.
