i have a 760 gle 1988 with the newer b280f,this is the much better volvo v6 engine and is unkilleable.Im 18 and i drive this car like a sports car,the independant rear suspension,only found in 760's makes this ride much smoother and comfy.If youre not looking for a high performance car,cuz the v6 is torquy but its still a little slow,then i recommend going woth a 760 between 88-90.Just have to keep it well maintained.I use fully synthetic oil and always use 94 octane gas.Another thing,this is and engine that is very well built and easy to work with if you like getting under the hood.I have no experience with 740's but they are also great cars and have better fuel economy but i find the engines are not as robust as the b280f.Ive heard many stories of blown b230's
and because of the 760 old reputation of having a bad engine,you can come accross 760 at a very low price comparing to 740 gle and turbos.
