S40 T4 or 2.0T
 

right, well i sold my 2.0T to my dad when i picked up my company car in january, but the dirty derv DS3 doesnt really make me smile like the volvo used to so i am on the hunt for another one,

preferably a T4, sub 100k miles but as long as its been looked after doesnt matter,

prefer phase 1.5/2, black bezels a bonus, but at the moment i am open to being interested in any car so long as it is the right price.

hit me up with what anybody has, i am located in the south east just below london.

cheers

Tom

still nothing around? I don't mind travelling for the right car

Very hard to find a tidy 2.0T and even harder to find a T4 these days.

Most have been abused or are a bit shabby/ rust buckets :(

so true... I saw a stunning 2002 T4 Sport Lux with xenons, arcadias, in black with black leather at a petrol station a few months back and I couldn't help myself but ask the bloke if he would sell it to me but no joy :(

my friends tell me that at 21 years old I should be dreaming of imprezas and evos but I just want a T4, nothing else will suffice and I will find one and its getting to the point where I would pay well over the odds for the right car, so if anyone is even so much as considering selling up please let me know and i'll make you an offer you couldn't refuse!

In Leeds is a Red T4 SE Lux V40 with a pinch over 100k on the clock for 1500. It's on autotrader and looks ace.

Ooops you're in London. Oh well... I may go look at it myself!

personally i think this is a bit overpriced, but nice all the same...

that's a nice one that, came up on fleabay yesterday I think, not that I've been looking everyday.... ;)

any nice ones that come up are always so far away from me, kinda depressing really but eventually i'm gonna have to accept the fact that i'm gonna have to travel a bit further to get what I want

I got mine at 21 and paid a bit over for it and another £1200 ish in repairs within the first 2 weeks of owning it but I love it. They're worth the wait :thumbs_up:

I've driven a couple and the power is infectious, so much more lively than a T5 just coz its not as smooth :D I bought a 2.0t when I was 19, paid half the insurance my mates did on their saxos and clios had twice the power and heated black leather as a bonus, all for the tidy sum of £450. by far the best car I've had!

Maybe Im the only one but I love the travelling thats associated with buying a car. I bought one car and it was delivered to my house which was a bit dull really.

Ive always loved the thrill of the road trip, a day out, lunch and the journey home to get aquainted with your latest purchase. I travelled 238 miles from Scarborough to deepest darkest Suffolk for my 240 GLT and it was an amazing day out. Cruising up the A1 in my new car watching the miles tick off the sat-nav slowly.

These T4's arent bad motors and can be bought really cheap, but theya re getting few and far between now since most of them have been broken for spares. I'd rather have a T4 than a Scobby any day. You lees of a muppet in a T4 than a Scooby and usually youll still be pushing them along on the straights.

I was 21 when I got my T4 and my mates took the **** out of my grandads car and why did I buy an old Volvo. They soon shut up when I left them all for dead, including a Saxo VTS.

There are TWO t4s within 200 miles of where I live and both are P1s :/

Where have they all gone?!

Its a real shame but they aren't worth the money to sell on.

Probably all ended up like this:

I agree, the travelling and the journey home is part of the fun.
When i picked our old Zafira up, i jumped on a train at 5am, travelled to Coventry via a few other places, then drove home without a working speedo, having to rely on sat nav speed readings!

Distance shouldn't ever be ab issue for a car that you want. I know lads who have bought cars in ireland, flown over and got the ferry back!

Expensive:

Hahahahahah!!!

It may be expensive but, it appears to be a highly equipped low mileage mint example, it's practically new.



Funny you should say that, I flew to East Midlands for my old '98 T4, Bradford for the '98 TD and Bradford again for the '03 1.9D

I just can't get enough of Little Chef on the A55.......honestly!

Thumbs up for showing up a Saxo VTS! To the young generation "Sick innit"

"16v mate, rapid"

Nothing wrong with the P1 :) :thumbs_up:

Bit far from you and a bit hefty on the price point but looks to be in pretty good condition...

Bear in mind mine is almost the same goodie wise and I paid £1100 for mine just over a year ago with 129k on the clock :) Granted it did need another £1200+ spending on it in 3 weeks but hey ho :broken_heart:

I also traveled to Cambridge for mine which was a fun drive home - Especially after jumping from a 1.4i Corsa to that - It scared the sh*t out of me!

i've been looking at this one for a few days now , it looks really nice . there is a blue one on there too even cheaper

t4
 

here is the blue one i was on about

if that wasn't an auto I think it would be sat on my driveway by now :/

This one looks the part:

Overpriced but a lovely example - very nice!

so many people have offered me v40 t4s now and its so tempting every time but I have my heart so firmly set on an s40....

although saying that I did spot a red 850 t5-r saloon on my way home from work and on closer inspection is stripped out with just 2 Corbeau bucket seats in the front, looks pretty mean but alas not for sale (at the moment)
