Where to look for a new car?

[SD1992]

I am looking to buy a new car soon - ideally a Volvo 850 T5 (standard one, the R is double the insurance).

I am looking for a saloon, with a manual gearbox, and in decent condition for a good price, and I can't find any!

There is one in the PH classifieds that looks ok, probably needs looking in to further though.

There was one that was on Autotrader for months that was way overpriced, and that is it!

So, besides ebay, gumtree, PH, and autotrader, where can I look for one?

I have looked on a couple of Volvo forums and there are none there

Can anyone help me?

Maybe I'm wrong but I'd guess most T5's sold were autos so you might struggle to find a manual saloon. This site is sometimes worth looking at although there's no manual T5's showing http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/list/102/t5/

Pretty sure most of the T5/V70r were autos bud

I fear you may both be right... Why would that be?

It is a real pain - my mate's Dad had one (hence the interest) but he went and sold it before I realised I could get insured on it

A new one has appeared on Autotrader... Must investigate! White makes me think ex plod though?
