1988 Volvo 760 GLE review from North America
"Great Car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Spark regulator failed at 160,000 miles.
Power driver seat motor at 160,000 miles.
Power sunroof motor failed at 155,000 miles.
A few minor seal leaks at 140,000 miles.
Leather seats cracked on front seats... the price you pay for those toasty heated front seats in winter.
General comments?
Perform general maintenance and it runs and runs. Great car value for the $7,000 USD I paid in 1988.
I have put another $2,000 in repair and maintenance.
I am pleased with my total cost of ownership at $9,000 over six years!
