1990 Volvo 740 GLT 16V review from UK and Ireland
"A lot of quality car for not a lot of money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
ABS warning light illuminates sporadically, service history indicates problems with sensors.
Previous owner from new had a new clutch and flywheel at 75,000 miles.
New steering rack.
New speedo.
General comments?
This is the first Volvo I have owned, I have only had it for a short time but I am very impressed by the ride and the vehicle's performance. The vehicle has a feeling of safety about it.
The previous owner had it serviced every 6000 miles by a main Volvo dealer, some of the work carried out and the cost seemed excessive.
