Hello friends,

I will unfortunately have to junk my 740.
Engine is still solid, bent the cross member underneath.
Any parts that you guys think is worth removing to sell?

Thanks in advance.

Wasn't the car worth replacing the cross member?

Well, I am not exactly sure what the cross member is but based on what the mechanic said who has been working on my volvo's it may not worth it because there may be some internal damages too (he said). I didn't really ask how much it would cost to replace it, haven't picked up the car yet and didn't talk to him in person.

What happened is that a raising gate started raising while going over it and caught the car in the mid way and ripped of the exhaust and damaged the cross member, the car would move when put in drive but wouldn't accelerate, plus the gear box would shake very bad.
