    You got the car for fifty dollars, for a couple of dollars you have a car that is strong, reliable, strong, built to last.

    its def a keeper, any car that a person gets for extremely cheap, like in 2019 volvo 740 everywhere else in the world was 2k+ for a shit one, and 3k+ for a decent one, and you got one for 50$, even if it wouldnt have ran or didnt have a engine or some stuff, always a keeper... theres people that get a car for like a 90% off Deal, and instantly sell it to make thousands of profit by flipping, and i do not stand those people, cause if you get like lets say a car that usually retails for 2k-10k, for like 0$-400$... just fix it up and enjoy it, i hope you kept it, i remember i once saw a audi coupe b4 selling for 300 euro Working in my country (latvia), and i was pissed that i didnt get it, those things are like 3k-10k+ now and very rare, and this was like a year ago, and if i wouldve bought it, i would keep it for like 10+ years, they dont sell for cheap... and they dont sell at all.

    I wish i could find such a deal. The only 740 i SEE in here is not for sale, i tried to buy it but the guy is way too attached to it, even if it rusts and stays parked. I want one since i'm 11 and i am almost 30 now. Time, money and 740 are never together at the same time. I wish you'll take care of it for me who can't have one! It was interesting to see how it looks from under and that gas door in the trunk. That car looks easy to work on, which i thought was being the opposite. Damn, i want one so bad!

    Thats an insane deal for a 740. I just picked up a 940 Manual b230fk midnight blue but i paid like 20 times more. But i consider it a steal because it hasn't even seen 300tkm yet. Plenty of body work to be done though, the paint has started to peel on it, typical for old volvos after they switched to water based paint :/
