I purchased this car in May of 2004. The car has been nothing short of reliable, always starting and making life easy. The controls are straightfoward and easy to use and the car is uncomplicated. Winter driving is a hassle, since the car is rear wheel drive. Drivers should be very experienced for winter driving. Parts are extremely expensive - be aware. All repairs, however, are straightfoward and normal, like tires and exhaust. Workmanship and quality are supurb, as well as space. Not the prettiest car, but a VERY smart buy. The turbo has major turbo lag, which can be disconcerting in emergency manuvers. However, when spooled up, it provides more than enough power and poor fuel economy
Freebie!!!

We received this car from a guy at work whose wife blew the head gasket and did not want to fix it (bought his wife a new Volvo). The car had 155,000 miles and every service record so we fixed it and now will not part with the car. We love the ride and fact that we do not ever have to worry about it in a parking lot. It is my primary car and I drive it everyday to work. Motor sounds like a box of loose bolts, but it runs strong and starts everytime. We will are planning on buying the S80 as our other car due to this car.

I was contemplating last year to be tied down on a lease or finance to a new less expensive car such as the Protege5, but I ended up looking at a sweet 1990 740 Turbo at my local Volvo dealership. Even though it's more than 12 years old, rust has not set in (and I live in Canada), the engine is beautiful (if not a bit tractor-like), and the interior is sweet. Go find one today-cheap, sweet, and reliable...not to mention faaaaaast!!!
Great in New Zealand too

I bought our 740 GLE wagon as a cheap runabout with an increadible 440,000 km on the clock. (It was a former Volvo country service car). I can now see why people love these cars. Our BMW sedan stays in the garage and this gets used as the family car weekends now. The kids love the back row of seats. Incredibly practical round Wellington which is a tight, hilly city with the boxy corners and great steetring. We like it so much we tried out a new one. Not as good! Suspect Volvo has lost the plot under Ford.

I bought my Volvo 13 years ago and it still looks and runs like new (almost). Have had periodic minor mechanical problems and service/parts are relativeltexpensive, but nothing major after 170,000 miles.
