1985 Volvo 740 Wagon from North America - Comments

"Can't kill these wagons!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Need a great value on a station wagon? I bought my 1985 from a doctor, truth is he drove it to the hospital every day. He had bought it from a Volvo rep when it had 200,000 miles on it. I just loved the car including the "faded grey" paint - like an old pair of jeans. I now have a 1989 Turbo 740 wagon.

General comments?

Great value.

Does not turn heads, until they see the true odometer readings.

We to dealer for oil change, they bring out customers to see the old girl, and they close deals.

Odometer broke, wife used to drive 53 miles each way to work every day.

Wagon would not quit running, I just had a friend who needed a cheap reliable wagon, so I gave him a steal at $500!

He regularly drives the wagon across the U.S. - most recently from Tenn to Seattle Washington.

Best thing - these wagons are the most undervalued ride on the market - I like a whole lot better than my Honda Passport SUV.

I bet your Volvo will hit the 700,000 mark easy, mine is just getting worn in at 300,000.
