Ok this is defiantly just a feeler... i've been thinking for a while about this and im thinking about getting a newer vehicle. im just trying to gauge what i'd get for my car if i were to sell it.

So this is what you get...

87 740 GLE gold in color
Three sets of rims, a set of winters on 240 steelies, a set of winters on dracos and the Eikers with EXLAIM UHP tires zr speed rated.

I've got recepts for about $7000 worth of work in the last 2 years, including recent exhaust work, new shocks and struts last September (2008) newish springs (overload) from Matt in May, pioneer head unit for the stereo, alpine speakers in the front JBL's in the back and a 12 inch sub in the trunk. as well as a viper 2 way alarm system. and lots more!!

Again like i said this is a feeler, im just trying to figure out if its worth it for me to sell or if i should just keep it.

this is a pretty recent pic of the car.

Any more pictures? Looks nice. :D

I wouldn't mind a gold 744 but by the sounds of it, this one is waaay out of my league!

A defiant feeler, eh?

You're truly a defiant one.

Tan interior, too? Old gold Volvos look great. :mrgreen:

What engine did the GLE come with and what's the gas mileage like?

I'd buy the 5 spokes if you'd sell, not interested in the car though. Got one of my own but turbo-diesel.

my advice to you:

make it turbocharged and fun to drive, don't sell a car you've already dumped 1/4 the price of a new car into - that's bad beezwax.

Don't blame you, beautiful car especially with 5 spokes. Just thought I'd ask. I'd keep it and drive it til it was not feasible to do so anymore.
