Re: what to look for in a used volvo??? ALL

I have the 87 740. It now has 130,000. The car is very liable, thus far.

My wife loves it. Its smooth, comfortable. Ive had it since 113,000. So far, Ive had to replace the engine temp sensor and brake pads. I also replaced the plasic radiator with a metal one. It also has the zf tranny, which continues to operate reliably and smoothly.

The one thing that really gets my dander up about this car is the upholstry. 100,000 mile upholstry in a 300,000 mile car. Whoever came up with this wonderful idea needs a swift kick in the...

Of course, you know, that whatever car you decide on, look for maintenance records and good upkeep.

cheers!
