I bought a used car and it had not just the manual, but the original sales offer to the Estonian government (a specific department of it that I won’t name because that’s too specific). And this was a pre-EUR one, to give you an estimate of how long it’s been in the glove compartment.
But in general it’s been hit and miss for manuals with used cars. Sometimes I’ve looked them up online, but not all are easily found.
I don’t think I’ve owned a single vehicle that didn’t come with the manual in the glove compartment, and I’ve always bought used vehicles.
3 with over 100k miles, 2 that were over 15 years old when I bought them and 2 that were less than 100k miles and less than 5 years old when I got them. Half of those cars I only got one key with, a couple didn’t last 2 years before developing severe mechanical issues, but the one thing that every single one has was the original owners manual in the glove compartment
Okay yeah, I’ve only ever bought one with LESS than 100k miles (I think 3 or 4 that were under 200k) and only 2 that were under 15 years old. I’ve had 11 cars lol
