1990 Volvo 760 review from North America
"I love this car, and would gladly and quickly buy another like it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I replaced all front suspension parts.
I replaced all brake rotors, and pads.
I replaced the exhaust from the cat back.
I had to rebuild the entire electrical system inside the car because of a crook tearing out the dash to get the stereo and DVD player.
General comments?
I bought the car for $350 as a theft recovery, the interior had been gutted, but the exterior was pristine.
The car is very quick and with the above mentioned parts is very reliable, and handles very well for a 3500lb car.
I recently drove the car from Seattle, WA to Morgantown, WV (a distance of 2750 miles) without incident or worry.
I love the rear wheel drive, and am surprised at the power and responsiveness of the turbocharged 4 cylinder.
