ahhh! that's good info.. I remember seeing something about the paint issues but forgot all about that! No history of the modifications did make me think to myself 'that can't be good'. sounds like I should keep looking!

Hey, I've been lurking around here for a bit and now I'm getting closer to taking the jump and actually buying a ute and I'm pretty sold on the XR..... I have had a bit of a look at one near by at a stealership, its an 04 BA MK2 6 speed manual in shockwave has a hardlid, typhoon front bar, aftermarket FMIC that looks a lot like the rapid v2.0 kit, 19 inch rims. It has 100,000k's on it. I guess I have a few questions: 1. What would you consider a reasonable price for it? I'm more than happy to low ball the sh*t out of them, they have 23,990 on it..... 2. Apart from the FMIC how can I identify if it has been tuned or had any other mods? The dealer couldnt tell me if its had a tune or if it has any further mods which has put me off a bit...... 3. should I look for something with less K's? Any other tips when looking for one of these cars? I want to have all bases covered I can't handle the thought of getting ripped off haha. Your help will be appreciated!

I was considering having a look at this one but the amount of k's had me a bit concerned.. It's damn cheap though

how much are you after for your ute? I'm in the market for a T, initially had my mind set on a ute but having a bit of trouble finding the exact one I want, where as sedans are a dime a dozen!
