Hi all, Just wired up a SE car kit in my Turbo but be f**cked if I can find anywhere to mount the phone cradle. So, if anyone could give me any ideas or even better post a pic of where yours is mounted I would be eternally grateful. Cheers, Fludey

Thanks for all of the replies guys, really appreciated. Today I bought my T, it is a 2004 Envi with 11000kms, premium sound and leather, it's in immaculate condition throughout and was previously owned by the owner of a Ford dealership. Comes with the sports pedals, sports steering wheel and XR floor mats. Got it on the road for a little over $40k, so I am rapt. Cheers again, Fludey

Well, I actually live in Berwick and have been spending heaps of time at David Nutter lately. Maybe I have been only looking at the used cars as I havent seen the envi demo of which you speak. Thanks for the reply, I will go back down there and check it out. Cheers Fludey

Ok guys, sorry to dig up this old thread, but it looks like it's finally time to go and buy my T. Thanks to all for the replies earlier, but now I need you once more. I have been travelling around checking out the dealers for a T matching the details in my original post. I have now been to about 8 dealers today and only seen ONE T, plenty of std XR6s but hardly any Ts. So... the question is, has anyone seen a nice slightly used T in their local yard in the last coupla weeks that I might be able to head down and have a look at? You guys might be able to save me some driving... Cheers Fludey

Hi all, Is there an equivalent to AWC in Victoria guys, asking for a friend... Cheers

Thanks for that Gooza, looks good, will be very helpful!

Ummm, bit of both actually, seems like a lot of hard work to me!! I am starting to get the picture slowly, and it looks like an ex-demo is probably my best option as the price is a fair bit lower than new.... I need to speak to that accountant before I do anything more it seems, I am sure he will dumb it all down for me!! Cheers guys, and thanks, Fludey

Thanks for the replies, looks like a chat with my wifes friends hubby the accountant is in order. As far as dealers, can anyone suggest a good one in my area, maybe someone who gave you a good deal or was a pleasure to deal with?

Car allowance is $15000 tax free per annum, this is why I don't want to really go far past $40000, I think I can get fleet discount, others at work have. I don't really understand what you mean about your lease, what is "$20000 gross", but anyway, I will probably do about 25000kms per year. You can see I am a little ignorant when it comes to the whole lease thing, so any info you could give me would be really handy...

Hi all, I am looking at taking a car allowance as opposed to my company car in the very near future and have wanted an XR6t since they were released, and I think now is the time to get one. I would like to get the premium sound, and if possible the leather (but not a neccessity), and I love the colour Envi. I think I might have to go for an ex-demo or slightly used item, as I don't really want to spend more than $40-$42k. My question is, which dealer in the SE Melbourne area should I use for a good deal? I am open to any suggestions also regarding my best options in making my purchase, possibly I should buy new rather than used/demo, maybe there are things I should know regarding the car? Any comments would be well received, as I have never been in this position before. Cheers, and TIA... Fludey
