I like to take a look on Autotrader and PH often to see what S60 T5 come and ago. I've noticed that they are becoming less common these days for a decent one. I bought mine in September and haven't seen anything better since pop up on the car websites. Most these days are quite old and pretty high mileage. Are we at the end of seeing decent T5s up for sale? I'd be curious to know how many 2.4 T5 S60 were sold in the UK.

I guess this link explains quite a bit, not many were sold

Thanked 1,758 Times in 1,256 PostsThey're not that common... but not that rare either.
I saw an S40 T5 knocking around the west end sometime, but only seen 3-4 in 4 years of driving mine.

Thanked 1,758 Times in 1,256 PostsV50 T5 is pretty rare there as one down the street from me a while back but the owner didn't look after it at all and it was in a sorry state.
I checked that how many left thing.. there appears to be far less S40 T5's than S60 T5's
