Turbobrick Neutral Newbie May 3, 2002 Author Share May 3, 2002 Btw, TB, since you're pushing the S60 right now with all the specs, what are they going for, just out of curiousity (can't go any further than my curiousity.... ) ? U mean price? $180+k last time I checked, due to high COEs. Lowest point was $163k I believe. SM service advisor asked me why not change to S60T5 and I just told him "My S70 still faster lah" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
