Used Volvo Cars for Sale near North Cowichan, BC

Manual Transmission, with a button 5th gear. 4 banger engine that runs like a V8. Gets about 30 mpg. Exterior looks great, interior needs some work. Fun to drive. No discernible squeaks to be heard. No rattles. Only problem I've had is the heater broke, which takes about 5 mins. to fix.

This car is my first car and was given to me by my Dad who bought it new in 1989. I love the car and I glad to be the only kid at my school who has one. It has almost 240,000 miles on it and is still going! Performance wise however, this car is just not very fast. It admits only 114 hp and has slow acceleration. The torque ranges at around 136 lb/ft at 3600 rpm and is the only performance spec I am semi-content with. If you want a faster 740, go with the 740 turbo. This car is built like a tank, no question. It has only needed few repairs for normal things like new brakes. 240000 miles shows this car just won't die. I don't care what others think, I love the styling of this car. Sure, its a brick, but its boxy styling is so simple yet original. This car has alright gas mileage with 21 street, 27 highway. It doesn't really require much maintenance at all, just oil changes. Is the car fun? Well to drive fast, not really. To cruise with the windows down, definitely.

I loved this car! It was my first, and if it hadn't died, I would still be driving it. Volvo Station Wagons are awesome!

I wish it had more power. But, at 300,000 miles, it has been a good car, and I can't complain. It is easy to work on, and doesn't cost an arm and a a leg to replace the parts that do break. It is fun to drive, because of being rear wheel drive.

When i got the car, I had to replace the radiator but was fine when fixed. It had a noisy petrol pump which was eventually fixed. This car was very easy to drive as it was automatic, although a manual might have been more fun.
