That Volvo is indeed in nice shape.
 I wonder how much he wants for it.

I wonder how much money it cost to get 74,000 miles out of that thing?

Well, there's not reserve.
 
I bet the volvo crazies (wait... am I one of those? hhmmm... nah.) come out of the woodwork and really bid it up. I'm guessing in the $3500-$4k range.
 
I am quite smitten with it, though. I'm sure its no fun as is, but man is that pretty. And it is at least capable of some fun.

Wow, that's crazy. I haven't seen one of those like that in years. Even out here all of the old 700 cars are pretty clapped out by now.
 
I seem to remember that dorky pinstriping on them too, either that or some other car had an identical style. That really hit something in my memory when I saw it.

had a 1989 Volvo 740 wagon, in dark metallic gray. I thought it was a good looking car, in its boxy sort of way. They ended up getting rid of it in 1998, replacing it with a Subaru Outback wagon. I think it made it to 100,000 miles, but it got to the point that it was breaking down regularly, and every time they had to take it to the dealer, it cost them around $1,000.
 
I think the dealer was about 20 miles away, too. None of the local places would want to mess with it. Although oddly, the mechanic I use now, the one who's working on my '67 Catalina and is going to work on my DeSoto after that, is a Volvo specialist! Too bad I didn't know him back then, or I would've recommended him.

I wouldn't buy that lot for what they are worth in scrap. What a junkyard.
