1987 Volvo 740 GLE review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The speedometer only works when it wants to... about 50% of the time... Just hit the dashboard and it goes up.
Catalytic converter and trunk lifters.
General comments?
This is one solid car for a guy that loves to just abuse it! I am 20 years old and got this as a hand me down, and constantly floor it and brake hard and it does fine, especially in LA traffic! All she needs is a little oil and a wash... This is a great car!
