1987 Volvo 740 Turbo Sedan review from North America
"What more could you really ask for?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed bushings when I got it, along with major a service @ 150K..
General comments?
Runs like new, with power to spare, for city driving anyway.
Comfortable, reliable and safe.
Really don't think I would buy anything much out there except for another rear drive manual Volvo sedan or wagon. Maybe a 780... then onto Mercedes... the newer front drivers just don't impress...
