I am now seriously looking at 850 estates to purchase (lease car goes back in a few weeks!). However as someone who has always mis trusted auto box's on older cars i am surprised to find that second hand older autos are fetching slightly more than second hand manuals. This was certainly never the case some years ago around these parts at least.
So is it that times have changed and automatic box's can be expected to be as reliable as manual ones on ten year old cars, or is it a Volvo thing with the quality of this make?
About two thirds of the cars i am considering are automatic (there seem to be more about than manuals!) but can i expect a world of hurt if i buy one at this age??
