1989 Volvo 740 review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Just bought it and all it needed was a tune up and an oil change.
We changed the timing belt and three other belts just so our daughter could be on her merry way without concern.
General comments?
If you want an inexpensive car, buy a Yugo.
Otherwise, you are in for the ride of a life in your Volvo.
