Hey Brickboard,

So I got rid of my old 760, and I'm now in the market for a new-to-me car.

Stumbled upon a local craigslist posting that advertises a 2003 S60 T5 with a manual(!!) transmission.

Never seen that combo before! I called the guy and am waiting to hear back, but:

  • Are there any issues in this model/year/mileage to look out for?

  • Are there any specific preventive maintenance steps that should be taken for this car?

  • I don't know the first thing about the FWD Volvos' manual transmissions. Are they reliable?

Thanks to any and all for your valuable expertise!
