1987 Volvo 740 GLE review from North America
"Reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump, A/C compressor, fuel pump, but being original parts to begin with it's amazing they lasted 13-14 years.
General comments?
I love this car. Stuffed 8 people in it one time, no problems. Drove it to Montreal... then to Virginia Beach no problems. Countless trips to Home Depot. If it wasn't for the accident I'd still be driving it.
