If I want a manual, turbo (preferably 5cyl) Volvo wagon in the US, what are my options? I know there weren't any 850R's sold with manuals here. I was thinking a first or second gen v70r?

V50s had a manual option. Rare as hens teeth though

The V70R was available as a manual.

Honestly anon, they aren't worth it. The Volvo crowd is loaded and they'll price the good condition+rare trim (read: rust free+manual) v70rs out of your range. Some go for $15-20k.
On top of that you'll be stuck with an expensive to maintain, euro semiluxury (that looks 99% like euro budget bin except for the badge), on road only wagon. They look pretty but save yourself the pain and buy a subie or something.

Might be worth looking into assuming it's not too insanely complicated.

Yeah im kinda thinking that would be my best choice, like the one in the OP
>>14719179
Yeah i considered V50s and V40s but theyre both hard to find in any configuration it seems like

Oh I should also say if it's reasonably easy to buy a manual N/A 850 then turbo it I am fine doing that.

Look dude I've had lots of volvos and I don't think they're worth the trouble.
