[s_cowen]

I am very tempted to go buy this car it looks very nice & a fair price & it will save me a lot of time & money on tuning mine!

[NORDIC R]

Did I see that at 6 grand around xmas?

[yorkshire R]

[Jimmie]

Why would expolicecar.co.uk have this car.i know they say its a trade in but i would contact the previous owner before i shook hands on a deal.

[dalhousie2008]

Seen that one before on ex police car site

[The Flying Moose]

So who wants to lend me £3500??? lol

[AndysR]

Wow values are really tumbling on these and I'd be lying if I said I hadn't been recently considering upgrading the 850..... just don't tell Santa ;)

I wouldn't buy that one anyway.. Wrong colour combination and about 50,000 miles to many on the clock..

The absolute nuts, the right combo and every single optional extra :)

[Wobbly Dave]

Em, that is a seriously sexy motor - I have secretly always wanted a dale winton interior (especially in a dark S60R)

Mee too, if it was lower mileage it would be a perfect motor.

I think it may be priced a tad high too? Probably worth closer to 4500-5000?

Looks lovely, wonder why it has the rep wheels though?

[volvokid]

2 reasons maybe. He had 17" wheels and wanted bigger or he mashed the originals.
i wouldnt have a pre face lift one the dash looks to plasticy

[GregE102]

very good price that, they'll soon be worth a grand lol

If you take in to account that the engine has done 99k and the liners must be ready to split? Plus the angled gear must be ready for doing after 99K that and all the other bit that break on them as well!

I recon your about spot on with the price Frankie!

Ones of that age seem to be yes!

Money pit! Big style! every R I know of of that reg 03 - 04 - 05! All seem to have a list longer than your arm!

[GregE102]

No!


I have Driven Ashoks S60R his has well over 350bhp and loads of stuff done to it!
It was a fantastically rapid and comfortable car to drive! very Sure footed, but i did not drive it hard, you did not have to!
His has had all the niggles and engine done, and i can say it was a pleasure to drive and be a passenger in it! on road and on track!
And they give better MPG than a T5!!!

But just make sure you get a good one! or it will be a money pit!

Its like anything you get there are good and bad and it depends on how they have been treated.
Its the same with people a banker will still be able to work when he picks up his pension when he's 70 but will a bricklayer?

Monkey they are BETTER than a T5

I can get low 30's out of town in my R but not in town, cant say ive really tried but i doubt i would even get mid 20's in town

[GregE102]

http://a.static.memegenerator.net/cache/instances/250x250/13/13525/13850034.jpg

Listen when you drive like I do they will give better MPG!

No plus they have the 6 speed box! when i am doing 70mph @ 2800 Rpm they will be be at 2500 Rpm!

So cruising they are better! and all the guys i know with S60r always quote better figures than what i can get?

[GregE102]

the lowest ive seen pottering about is 28.8mpg, i know if i keep it by the redline i'll be looking @ low 20's.

i do drive very calmly.. the car is currently standard & its not hard to keep this MPG, if obeying speed limits & getting into 5th ASAP the T5 is very good on fuel..

i do live on the Norfolk coast though..... i have 0 traffic EVER!!

Yes the standard cars you should be getting about that driving very gently!

My car is quite heavily tuned as well! even on a steady run I only see about 26MPG at best!!! but i do have 327 Bhp & 343 ft lbs, but it goes like a stabbed rat!

I live in Norwich lol what part of the norfolk coast do you live?

Yeah there were a couple of good people there. I used to work with one of them.. I think some of the staff moved over when Holden took over though.

[GregE102]

Paul Woods I think his name was he was a good Guy!

[AndysR]

Paul Woods I think his name was he was a good Guy!

Not sure who he was, I worked with David Goffin the service manager and I spent quite a while dealing with Chris Matthews when I first bought the car as I dictated what I wanted done to the car. He told me it was the first 5 page invoice he'd ever done... lol

I also lol'd at this... only 200 sold in the UK :) :) :)

So by now, taken into account accident damaged ones, ones that have given up etc... there must be about 50-100 left? I think not.

Try 7,500 sold worlwide in 2004 alone.

[Hunter]

Theres a site thats tells you how many are left registered in the UK

www.howmanyleft.com

Down to 310 registered in 2011 from a high of 350 in 2006.

[LeeT5]

This is the correct amount (really??)

Both the S60R and P2 V70R are pretty rare in the UK
