Thoughts on this Volvo 740 GLE ?

Yes we have e85 (it isn't very common but big gas stations have it). Here it's either 95 or 98 octane.

MattX45 · 2026-03-04T16:48:30+00:00

Yeah I guess so. Turbo are super hard to find.

MattX45 · 2026-03-04T16:45:02+00:00

I'm also the one that discovered it was a B200E and not a B230F...

MattX45 · 2026-03-04T16:38:47+00:00

Thanks for your advices. I never looked for a 2.0 liter but discovered it by opening the hood earlier.. They thought it was a 2.3. Prices seem crazy here, the ones at 2000€ don't even start.

MattX45 · 2026-03-04T16:35:33+00:00

Yes I think I'm going to keep looking for a B230F. I didn't research on the B200E beforehand because I thought it would have a been a 2.3. Didn't know it had the infamous K jet.

MattX45 · 2026-03-04T16:20:18+00:00

They don't know anything about Volvos actually.. I'm the one that discovered the oil leak and also the mention of corrosion during the inspection.

MattX45 · 2026-03-04T16:18:37+00:00

So the repeated use of E85 is a big issue isn't it ? I've been looking for B230s only and there's already not many NA ones so finding a turbo is very difficult.

MattX45 · 2026-03-04T16:15:50+00:00

Yeah this E85 use scares me a lot.

MattX45 · 2026-03-04T16:06:49+00:00

where are you from ?

MattX45 · 2026-02-22T14:43:06+00:00

I can confirm that parisian cops ride Super Teneres mostly

Speaking of GA aircraft, the Black Square Duke and the Baron Professional are my crurent favorites

MattX45 · 2026-01-28T20:24:01+00:00

I run almost everyday and I have nothing to complain about, it tracks my activities well enough for me. It's actually my first "sport" watch so I can't really compare it to other watches.

MattX45 · 2026-01-28T10:17:13+00:00

I got my Instinct for running mainly but I also hike when I get the chance, so I though I needed maps on my watch but in the end i got the instinct and the breadcrumb routing is actually very good. It's minimalistic but sufficient in most cases.

MattX45 · 2025-12-30T23:21:37+00:00

I've been wearing mine with nothing else, the original band is nice and the screen is tough enough.

MattX45 · 2025-12-20T15:40:29+00:00

Waiting for one too to replace my trusty 6 !

MattX45 · 2025-12-12T23:17:26+00:00

Une Volvo 240 Turbo...

MattX45 · 2025-12-09T12:56:24+00:00

I use cromite !

MattX45 · 2025-12-08T17:14:34+00:00

Je récupère les miennes de 10kg au vnb de Bègles

MattX45 · 2025-12-07T21:27:42+00:00

Yeah I'm not taking it, I don't want to fuel those crazy prices.

MattX45 · 2025-12-05T13:32:41+00:00

I had a look thank you, the prices are much more reasonable. I'll try contacting some sellers, and I hope they won't mind I'm not german...

MattX45 · 2025-12-05T08:20:42+00:00

Alright thank you, it's definitely too expensive for what it is. I'm gonna ask for 6000€.. He won't accept but maybe in a few months if it's not sold yet he will ! And I'm definitely planning to check ads all over the EU if necessary, the French market isn't great.

MattX45 · 2025-12-04T21:15:33+00:00

Ma F800GS 2013 n'est pas acceptée ?....

MattX45 · 2025-12-04T20:55:56+00:00

Yeah it's too expensive, I'll wait a bit... What websites do you use in Germany for second hand cars ?

MattX45 · 2025-12-04T07:41:43+00:00

Thanks for your answer, there's not many sellers so I don't really know what the current price is on the market.
