1989 Volvo 740 GL review from North America
"Boxy, but safe and comfy!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only real problem I really had was I had to replace the timing belt and.
The fuel injector, but that is about it.
General comments?
This car is very comfy and it is plenty big.
It’s not very fast, but it gets the job done.
Very, very durable, it was hit by a truck and the only damage that sustained was on the front turn signal.
