Volvo 740 GLE 2.3 — 1990

• Mechanical condition

  The engine, gearbox, brakes, and chassis feel normal and as they should. The engine bay is clean and tidy. New tailpipe and muffler. After just over 45,000 km, the owner has personally performed an oil service every year regardless of mileage. Four (!) timing belt replacements have been carried out; in 1996 at 57,000 km, in 2007 at 85,000 km, in 2014 at 115,000 km, and in 2022 at 133,000 km.

• Interior condition

  Fine, light and inviting plush upholstery. Good door panels – these model years used a stronger adhesive, which means the shrinking of the upper part of the door panels typical of the later 700-series models and early 900s is not present here at all. Slight tendency toward a sagging headliner with some loose spots, but otherwise fine. Surprisingly pleasant with an original leather steering wheel in fine condition. A working ECC climate control system is also nice – it holds the temperature and blows cold. The old phone holder is easy to remove.

• Exterior condition

  Nice and tidy original paint with normal or minor wear for the mileage, that is, a few touched-up stone chips. The fog lights work fine. Good glass, plastic, and rubber trim. New struts for the tailgate are included, as the old ones don't quite hold pressure. Currently fitted with three-peak mountain snowflake-rated Cooper studless winter tires from 2016 with good tread on original aluminum wheels. Even so, the car has rarely been used in winter. It will also most likely become a summer enthusiast car, and it bears repeating in every context where it becomes relevant:There is no such thing as an all-year-round tire. Winter tires have less grip, longer braking distances, and wear faster in warm temperatures. Drive your summer car on proper summer tires.

• General condition

  Representative example in well-maintained condition, relatively low mileage, and also featuring nicely functioning period-correct optional equipment. Meticulous service and documentation combined with an exceptionally positive overall impression.

General information about the condition of the vehicles .

• At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
• During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
