1988 Volvo 780 review from North America
"One hot Volvo"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Slight body rust spot above the rear window gasket.
Both front electric seat recline features have broken.
Climate control computer was replaced at 95,000 miles.
General comments?
Very good engine if you maintain the oil changes religiously every 3,000 miles.
The most luxurious Volvo model to date, I would recommend this model over all the others if you can locate one. They are very hard to find (only 8500 made).
Parts are a little expensive since this model is so rare.
Current Volvo models don't seem to have the durability of the 780.
