Hey Maximus, No $25k Inc 12months reg and transfer. I have an extra $5k and think I can get 1 x Boss Bonnet from (FTG Auto Salvage) 1 x Premium Sound (FTG Auto Salvage) 4 x New wheels + lowered - approx $2200

OK.....Well now I feel like a dickhead I mean't to say 4 speed Anyway I guessed most of you guys would pick the turbo and I think that's what I will be getting had already put deposit on the Turbo but would love the 6 speed tranny. Anyway does $25,000 on road for a 2005 40,000 km BA XR6T sound a good deal? I'm thinking it is as it still has that new smell and all the interior and exterior are like new not a mark on it. The first thing I plan to do is get a XR8 bonnet and premium sound. I will have about $5000 to spend on the car before the missus puts the breaks on my spending. (bloody females) Any ideas on what I should do not interested in more power atm just want the car to be mine so also wanting to lower and add some bigger wheels. OMG! I can't wait to get it at my age it's better than sex with viagra.

First of all let me say this is a great forum and hopefully this will be my first of many posts. OK here is my problem (although I wish all my problems could be like this). My delema is that I have a choice of buying either a 2005 XR6 Turbo with 5 speed auto and non premium sound or a 2005 XR6 6 speed auto with premium sound but no turbo. Both cars have around the same k's around 40,000 and both have been well looked after. They are both silver. I have to admit that I am leaning towards the turbo as I have taken this for a test drive and was blown away by the take off and power of this beastie (I also like the idea of being able to blow away my mate with his SS comodore ) Unfortunately I haven't had a chance yet to drive the XR6 6 speed auto but from all reports the 6 spead auto is awesome. So if any of you guys can give me some help here I would really appreciate it. Would I be right to say that the Turbo will have better resale value than the standard XR6. I live in Ballarat in Vic and can tell you that their seems to be quite a lot of XR6's here but I don't see many XR6 turbos. Also I planned on adding premium sound to the turbo and guess it would be easier to do this and maybe add a 6 speed auto later on rather than try and add a turbo. I plan on buying the car this week and want to take delivery by Saturday as I am taking 2 weeks anual leave next week and need my XR6 What's your thoughts guys.
