1988 Volvo 740 GLE review from North America

"An underrated war horse"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Radiator, water pump, timing belt, electrical and the interior.

General comments?

Interior is shoddy and on mine the cooling system had been abused, but the vehicle's engine and transmission are still super-smooth and it runs like a dream.
