1990 Volvo 440 GLi review from UK and Ireland
"Excellent all round car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
An elderly lady was the first and only other owner of the car, she lived in the wilds of Cornwall and did very short trips between home and the dairy the family owned, consequently the rubber bushes in the gear change mechanism needed replacement (bushes £4.00 labour plus VAT £36.00), quite expensive but well worth the money.
General comments?
On a run from Exeter to Edinburgh 43 mpg was obtained. It is well worth getting the injection engine. Apart from the image old boys car" excellent value at £2800 with a full service history in 1998. Why pay more?
