1989 VOLVO 740 GLE WAGON5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION VERY LOW MILEAGE!! (FOR THE YEAR)- IT WAS ONLY DRIVEN 6,500 MILES PER YEAR ON AVERAGE! CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED THE ENGINE RUNS EXCELLENT. IT HAS THE WELL KNOWN, DURABLE B230 MOTOR. THIS IS NOT A TURBO CHARGED ENGINE (NON TURBOS ARE MORE RELIABLE) THE CLUTCH IS FINE, NO SLIPPING OR BEARING NOISES. THIS IS A 'REAL' 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION. SOME MANUAL VOLVOS HAD THE 4 SPEED MANUAL WITH THE OVERDRIVE SOLENOID BUTTON. THE TIMING BELT, WATER PUMP, VOLVO DRIVE BELTS, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, UPPER AND LOWER RADIATOR HOSES WERE REPLACED WITHIN THE LAST 10,000 MILES. THE ALTERNATOR REGULATOR WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO. THE CAR DRIVES EXCELLENT, YOU WOULD NOT THINK YOU ARE DRIVING A 25 YEAR OLD CAR. WHEELS ARE BALANCED. EVEN AT 80 MPH THE CAR DRIVES WITH NO PROBLEMS, VERY SMOOTH RIDE. SHOCKS AND STRUTS ARE VERY GOOD. NOTHING RATTLING. THE BRAKES FEEL EXCELLENT. THERE ARE NO SQUEALS, VIBRATIONS ETC.... HEAD LIGHTS , TAIL LIGHTS , AND MARKER LIGHTS ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION MATCHING BLIZZAK TIRES ARE EXCELLENT COMES WITH ORIGINAL MANUALS THE ORIGINAL STEREO WORKS PERFECT- I NEVER USED THE TAPE DECK. THE KNOBS ARE NOT GOOEY (SOME THIS AGE FEEL GUMMY FROM THE HEAT AND AGE). THE POWER ANTENNA MOTOR WORKS, SOMETIMES THE ANTENNA WILL STICK, LIKELY NEEDS TO BE GREASED. THE CAR HAS HEATED SEATS POWER WINDOWS AND POWER LOCKS ARE WORKING FINE. THE SEATS ARE A REALLY NICE, SPORTY SPLIT CLOTH/LEATHER TYPE YOU HAD TO PAY EXTRA TO GET AS A CUSTOM ORDER. THEY HOLD UP MUCH BETTER THAN THE STANDARD LEATHER ONES YOU USUALLY SEE. PAINT SEEMS TO BE ALL ORIGINAL. THERE IS A SMALL SPOT OR TWO OF PAINT THAT PEELED OFF, SOME MINOR PAINT CRACKING ON THE HOOD. THERE IS A DING ON THE REAR DOOR, KIND OF HARD TO SEE FROM THE PICTURES...THE REST OF THE BODY IS EXCELLENT FOR AN 1989! THE A/C BLOWS COLD & THE HEAT IS BLAZING HOT! THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WORKS FINE MANUAL SUNROOF SEEMS TO BE GOOD. THEY NEVER BREAK! THE EXHAUST- THE REAR MUFFLER PIPE IS BROKEN IN THE BACK. EXHAUST IS NOISY. I WILL SEE IF WE CAN GET THAT REPAIRED & I WILL POST AN UPDATE IF WE GET IT DONE. IT SEEMS LIKE AN EASY REPAIR. I HAVE A CLEAR, CLEAN, LIEN FREE VIRGINIA TITLE IN HAND! THE CAR HAS A CURRENT VIRGINIA INSPECTION IF I CAN THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE I WILL UPDATE. PLEASE ASK ME ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE BEFORE YOU PLACE A BID! THIS 25 YEAR OLD CAR IS SOLD AS-IS!
