Most of the AWD wagons were automatic.
When we bought the car I asked if there was anything wrong with it the guy said "No but it has a manual shift".
I'll take it I said

For 2004 S80 30,382 cars were built. Less than 15K came to the USA and probably less than half that were T6 equipped. I couldn't find the breakdown on production numbers on the T6. Since Volvo enthusiasts seem to hate the T6 and the 2.9 equipped cars so I'm sure there are not many being saved. So I'd imagine she is getting rarer every day. June

Mike did a great job sewing up that second hole, it’s barely visible...
