FYI: I BOUGHT my 945T (same engine as your 740) with 180,000 miles. The turbo shows no signs of aging, and the engine does not burn any oil. Granted, it has had synthetic oil all its life.

I agree with one of the posts from your previous thread: Sure a turbo Volvo may not last as long as a N/A Volvo. You may only get 500,000 miles out of it before it needs a rebuild -- instead of 800,000 with the N/A.
