1988 Volvo 740 GLE review from North America
"A great armored car for a university student!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In-tank fuel pump inactive. Car runs well if fuel level above half.
General comments?
Great handling.
Nearly no rust for a 16 years old car, and it's a car from Quebec!
Robust construction.
Performance lack luster, but not too bad considering weight of vehicle and only 4 cylinders!
Classic looks, rugged charm!
