Default Wanted volvo 850 t5 or v70 t5 non auto

As the title suggests

i would like to get another volvo back in my life preferably a 850 and a manual

Been on ebay and gumtree and all are Autos. Who wants a auto in a t5? Also why did Volvo Produce so many autos!

Anyway i dont care on the condition or if it has MOT, just would like another T5

As my last T5 blew up. Bottom end went

The majority of luxury cars were and still are Auto's.The first owners of these cars would have had a choice of ordering an Auto or Manual from the factory.
So Volvo built the customer what they ordered and wanted.
Which in the majority is an Auto.
Personal preference and all... But cant see the problem with Auto's myself.

The auto boxes were horrible imo, also made the car feel sluggish and just meh. Then again i guess volvo didnt really capture the younger generation and only got in the old biddies hence the reason for masses and masses of autos

Just checked to see how many Manual 850 t5's there are, and according to HowManyLeft.co.uk

There are 279 Manual T5s left and 306 autos. So my chances are very slim getting a manual unless i spend 3k!

Why are your chances slim when there are as many manuals as auto’s!!
