Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
Equipped with a B230ET four-cylinder turbo engine producing 182 hp. The gearbox is an M46, a four-speed manual gearbox with an electric overdrive that functions as a fifth gear, operated by a button on top of the gear lever. Also equipped with ABS and air conditioning. According to a note, the timing belt was last replaced at 250,000 km, which was approximately 15 years ago, so it must be replaced due to age.
-
Interior condition
Well-kept interior with some wear. There are two classic cracks in the middle of the dashboard, on the top surface toward the windshield. The driver's seat has held up unusually well for the kilometers driven. There are some cracks in the vinyl on the side bolsters, which is significant wear for this type of interior. The headliner fabric has come loose and is sagging. This, too, is very common on cars from the 740 series. A major advantage of the station wagon is that the headliner can be removed straight out the back through the tailgate opening with relatively simple means. A knowledgeable person can then reupholster the headliner with correct fabric and reinstall it. Should the buyer have this improvement carried out, it will elevate the entire interior in a commendable way. Equipped with the working original Volvo CR-702 stereo the car was delivered with, including the upscale door speakers of the period. The air conditioning works and blows ice cold.
-
Exterior condition
We cannot say for certain whether it has received any touch-up paint over the years. Most evidence suggests that it largely retains its original paint. A well-maintained car that appears to be in better-than-average condition, considering its age and mileage. There are some scratches and minor blemishes. At the front edge of the roof, by the windshield, there is clear coat peeling. It has been driven in a salt-free area in Norrland. Please examine the photos closely for more information about the condition.

Facts about the model
A factory-new Volvo 745 Turbo Intercooler with Air Conditioning cost around 193,200 kronor in the spring of 1988. In addition, the optional ABS (anti-lock brakes) cost approximately 11,000 kronor, making it one of the most expensive individual safety features that could be added when ordering a new car. For a sum of approximately 200,000 kronor, before any negotiated discount, the buyer got one of Sweden's absolute fastest and most luxurious family station wagons of its time.
The base price for a factory-new Volvo 740 Turbo was 173,200 kronor in 1988. This was just over 18,000 kronor more expensive than the second most expensive model, the then all-new sport model 740 GLT 16 Valve, and nearly 50,000 kronor more expensive than a standard 740 GL. Choosing the station wagon added approximately 10,000 kronor to the base price.
