"A worthwhile investment... very reliable!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Brakes.

Exhaust from Cat.

A/C.

Tires.

All Belts.

General comments?

I bought this car from a family that had owned it from the dealer. They took good care of it so far as I could tell. Other than taking care of all the general maintenance issues that a car needs... It runs great. I replaced the brakes, muffler, all belts, tires, and air conditioning system as I has no record of what had been done the past couple of years.

In the past 3 years I've owned it, it has never stranded me or let me down... it does have the usual problems... everything plastic in it is disintegrating... I just break or cut off whatever is poking me... the heated seats don't work... the trunk leaks... the sunroof leaks...

I agree, I own a Volvo 740 myself, and the plastic parts get pretty flimsy. Hey well, after all we're talking about cars that are 80% recyclable.. :P.
