We purchased our 740GL wagon 9 years
ago and had no major problems with it.
It was simple to maintain, simple to
drive, very reliable.. and was truly a
tank! It could hold everything, and
although the engine did not have the
greatest pickup, it was great on gas -
it was a real road trip car. The car
had about 100k miles on it, and would
have gone another 200k. … However last
week while I was sitting on the 4 lane
highway making a left turn, I was hit
from behind by a truck going around 50
mph. The car took quite a hit, but it
did just what it was designed to and
corkscrewed on impact.
