1985 Volvo 740 GLE review from North America
"Still running strong at 353000 KMs, recommend"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fan is noisy at speed one and two, but noise disappear if I turn up to three or four, seems to get nosier when vehicle is decelerating.
Leather seat is in pretty bad shape, but it's to be expected for a 85 model.
Heated seat doesn't work.
But nothing serious.
General comments?
I just brought this car from my mechanic, the car is in exceptional condition for a 1985, it has 353000 kms and is still running strong, highly recommend.
