1988 Volvo 740 GLE review from North America
"The only car that belongs on road!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blew the Sunroof Motor
Loose ignition switch (need to toggle a bit)
Headliner falling down in back
Battery (replaced twice)
General comments?
This car is absolutely amazing! I commute it 90 miles a day, and have since the day I paid under $2000.00 for it! She is dream! A bit of electrical whatnot going on, and the alternator is now going out, pure maintenance on this superior quality machine!
Brakes are amazing, "stops on a dime" saved my children and myself from 60 miles an hour to zero, within 20 seconds (and saved the Elk's life that was crossing the road). Absolutely the BEST car on the market!
