Default Why so few available second hand

I'm looking at buying a 2007 MY S80 2.4 Geartronic. I've got about 12K to spend, but there's only 3 available at dealers nationally. Is this usual, or will more come on the market after the new registrations come out? I need to get the car at the beginning of May.

Thanks in advance

Andy

Any reason it has to be from a Volvo maindealer ?
All new S80's should still be covered under the 3year/60k mile warranty.
As long as it has a full documented history.
There are 11 S80's on Autotrader under 3 years old. A couple of the old models. Fords of Winsford have an 07 plate 15k miler under £12k (OK, so it's Gold).

Thanks for this. it's only 5 that are the new shape, 2007MY, and i'm not keen on Silver - or Gold!!!

I'm hoping that more will appear after March. If not i'll need to broaden my horizons - XC70 and S60 also appeal, and theres a few of them about...

Rybrook in Chester have 2 one Silver and one Willow Green. I bought a grey one at the end of January and have been very impressed with both the car and the dealer. Just the fuel consumption letting the car down at the moment.

You should pretty much have the pick of any S60 for £12k. They've stopped production now, readying production of the new model.
