1988 Volvo 740 GL review from North America
"A good buy if well maintained"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I purchased the car, I had the water pump and timing belt replaced.
I also had a larger radiator installed.
The A/C was leaking, but instead of repairing it, I had a non-freon system installed.
General comments?
The car is comfortable and reliable.
