1988 Volvo 740 GLE review from North America
"Excellent, I'll keep it until the wheels fall off!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My A/C leak at compressor at 168,000miles. Did repair myself for $330.00.
At 170,000 miles I replaced real main seal trans seals output bushing and drive shaft components and suspension rubber.
General comments?
My first Volvo went to 490,000 mile with small repairs.
This 740 just keeps going.
