1985 Volvo 740GLE (5-speed) $1800

Must sell my wife's '85 740 GLE sedan. 157k miles. Second owner. Silver with black leather. M46 5-speed tranny.

We've owned the car for a year and now that our family is unexpectedly growing again, we need a bigger car. We've put about 10k miles on it and have fixed several things:

1. New AC compressor, receiver/dryer and converted to R134a.
2. Michelin MX4 Rainforce tires.
3. Replaced front flex disc.
4. Replaced front rotors and calipers. Pads are recent. Also replaced brake hoses.
5. Blaupunkt CD player.
6. All fluids were recently changed, also got new radiator hoses.
7. Replaced alternator mount bushings.
8. Replaced the idle control valve.
9. Replaced all drive belts, valve cover gasket.

Asking $1800. Located in Cincinnati, OH. Exterior is average for the year and miles. Interior is above average. Leather seats showing very little wear. Has a good-sized dent/scratch in the lower half of the rear passenger door (previous owner).

I would not hestitate driving this car anywhere. I've owned several Volvos (87 745 turbo, 89 245, 93 245, 98 v70t5) and this one has been a good one for us.

I don't have pictures of the car yet, but probably can get my hands on a digital camera if needed.
