You just bought Volvo's best! IMO the 740 is the Volvo of choice. It has refinements not found in earlier cars, and it is still a very functional RWD. I could rant about the "new market" Volvo has entered with all the "S" cars, but don't get me started. The only concern I would have about your 740 is that you may have bought a 16 valve engine (B234) which needs much more attention than the Volvo standard engine (8 valve). The B234 is a good spunky machine, but tends to eat itself over time. If you are unfamiliar with the looks of a Volvo engine, take your car to someone that knows the difference. If in fact you have a 16 valve, be very careful to follow factory maintenance recommendations, particularly in regard to timing belts. You'll love your 740!
