1974 Volvo 145 review from Costa Rica
"Volvo.For Life"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After 30 years and 250,325 km no mayor problem ever!!!
General comments?
This most be one of the worlds best cars, I bought it when I got married and that was three decades ago. During all these years, and after beign the learning car for my wife and three sons, the car has asked for nothing, but really basic maintenance.
The most expensive job I had on this car was changing the fuel pump about three years ago.
The best part is that with its I-4 2.0 B20F Engine this car can easily run at 170 km/hr, not forcing the machine at all. Not bad for a grand-pa.
Good car-good Volvo.
