Re: 700 vs. 900 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Shawn Sobelman on  Fri Nov 10 04:07 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I am in southern California and that is all I'm going to tell you!! I actually think I have decided on the 16-valve 740. I drive an Acura now, which is a 24-valve (4/cylinder) and have had no problems since I change the timing belt every 60,000 miles. (All right, I pay someone else to do it!)

I like the increased power and the price is right (about $7300). I am going to have all the major maintenance done before I take it (new belts, fluid flushes, etc.) for about $500. The guy selling it is a private Volvo mechanic, so I'll let him do it. (I know that this is a bad idea normally, but I know this guy.)

Wish me luck! Hopefully, I'll be using the brickboard site as a happy owner very soon.

Shawn
