Hi all,

I just posted this in classifieds, but i want to know the realistic value of this car, the Kelley blue book seems high.

1988 Volvo 740 Turbo Intercooled.

286.000 miles

New Autoscania engine in 2001? (documented) with new turbo. (70+K on it)

new trans in 2003

interior is above average (leather is fair) typical headliner issues, as well as dash crack

exterior is fair, no rust at all, a few minor dings and a chip in the hood.

Everything works, just reset the srs light (thanks aye-roll) has not come back on.

synthetic oil since day one. (have the reciepts)

She does not leak or smoke...guy was a volvo fanatic and did some mods to the airbox and the like. everything works, i also have the service folder from the original owner that is 2+ inches thick and shows the amount of maintenance and work done to it.

I picked it up for my wife recently, and now she wants a truck (and i agree) since we have country property and this is not appropriate for transporting lumber and supplies down a muddy dirt road.

Any thoughts on true value? i was thinking $1600 since it needs new brake pads, and a through cleaning. (i paid more for it cash/trade from a dealers friend)

Thanks in advance.
