Great thread and some really sage advise. I'm just starting to have a look around for an XR6 Turbo. For the money I want to spend, I'll be looking at getting a BF or a BF2. I find it strange that cars in Victoria around $2k more than the equivalent in NSW or QLD. If I can make the numbers work after the cost of changing over the rego then I might go look at that option. Standard BF2 in Vic starts at around $17k whereas a very low km BF2 in QLD with 300rwkw, leather etc is about $1k less . A stock BF2 in NSW can be found for $14.5k Anyway, I'm looking forward to the experience of owning my first Ford since I had a ZF 5.8l Fairlane in the late 1980's.
