1987 Volvo 760 review from North America
"A money hungry fixer upper"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My electrical system has all shorted out.
The window rotors have busted and my windows are stuck down.
My car throws belts every three months.
Interior of the car is torn and ugly.
I have an oil leak that can't be fixed.
The transmission is going bad.
General comments?
I bought this car with the impression that I was getting the best car in the world. I guess I learned my lesson on this one. The only good thing I can say is that as old as it is, it still runs (kind of).
