Hello Tom; You don't state the year of the 745, but if it is in nice shape, and runs out well, then $1500 sounds like a great price. If you are unsure of the running condition, take it to a good mechanic and have them do a pre-purchase inspection for you. It ususally only cost about $50-80, and can save lots more than that in the long run. Sorry to hear that we lost another 240 wagon. And a GL to boot.

well thanks im verry good at volvos i have an 940t too. the 740is an 91 the miles on it is what im concurn about. my 240 only had 142,000 great miles on her.but the 740 i differant its the only volvo that ive seen thats has real wood trim inside.the motor runs good but could use a tune up but in can do that.it all so has an power intena on it too,never seen one on a wagon before.

I have a '91 745 and there is no wood in mine (well, excepting the plywood deck in the back). I've been in turbos and haven't seen wood trim there either.

$1500 is a good price if it's running well and isn't rusty. If you already have a 940 then you are familiar with the Rex-Regina engine management this car has if it is not a turbo.

Overall, I prefer the 740s to the 240s. Which isn't to say I don't love 'em both. That's especially true if you ever need a blower motor.

Go for it.

hi ya Andy this is Tom in Jacksonville Fla.yes the car runs verry well,no rust but the a.c. needs to be recharged and the power intena on the rear hatch needs to be replace were they ran in a car wash with the radio on.but over all the wagon is in good shape.the wood trim looks like somthing in a mercades,verry nice looking never seen this in a volvo not this old of one enyway.
