1990 Volvo 760 review from North America

Blew radiator hose on the way back from Atlanta.

Had a problem with the exhaust, car would stall on freeway... wait 30 seconds and car would start up again and run for a good while.

A/C didn't work.

I bought this car for $2400 I do believe.

The car was a dream: comfort, power, storage, handling, accessories... swedish limousine.

I purchased the car from a retired man, and about 3 weeks after I noticed the car had a bad problem. The engine light would come on and the engine would lose about 80% of its power as if it was going to stall.

I did not have any money to put into this car at the time.

The problem eventually turned into full stalls at random times, like on the freeway to work, coming back from a vacation. it would start right back up after about 30 seconds though.

Then, sadly one day, I was picking a friend up from the airport in Atlanta, and on the way back we were chatting up a storm and I notice my thermometer is maxed out! I pulled over and smoke came flying out of the hood, the car crept to a halt, and that was the end.

I miss the car a lot!
