1986 Volvo 760 Turbo Intercooler review from North America
"A great car or is it brick?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well nothing has "gone wrong" but when I got it for $400, I needed to replace a taillight, and partially, the exhaust system. that's all! the front seats are worn, and the dash is cracked.
General comments?
This car is very quick on it's feet.
It handles very nice and can take corners fast.
The turbo seems to kick in at just the right time.
It has never broken down.
The original black paint is still glossy and not peeled.
Every single electronic in the car works.
I replaced the stereo myself.
Auto A/C and heat work.
No turbo lag.
Will spin the rear tires going out of a corner if floored.
