  1. If you're not in a hurry, and I wasn't, I'd suggest waiting until you can get what you want. Eventually the right car at the right price will come along. You'd be upset if you bought something that wasn't what you wanted, and not long down the track, what you wanted appeared at the right price. I always say when buying a car - "You have to be Johnny on the spot!"...That is, be at the right place at the right time. Seeing as you're not in a hurry, if it was me, I'd wait it out. Either way, good luck mate!

    No tab, I think what you're referring to is under what I'm talking about. It's directly under the ICC and the 'bumps' come down from the top of the space.

    Cars going awesome thanks ANGEL#3...the previous owner stripped the paint off the wheels somehow and left them very dull and with runs all over them which kind of look like stains but they are from running liquid, so I've just started polishing them one at a time. Not much fun but the one I've started on is starting to look good polished. Dunno about that old_mate, they don't seem to depress enough to be to remove the box.

    Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum so I guess I'll introduce myself. I bought a Sep 09 velvet G6ET last week after months of searching for a nice family car (yes, I'm over 40, and no I don't own a cardigan, nor do I play lawn bowls lol). Anyway, obviously it's second hand, with 57,000 k's and has been serviced every 7,500 k's by Power Ford. I'm happy with the price I paid given it is 3 years old, 1 owner, well looked after and less than half the new car price. Stock standard with tow bar and full size spare! (I hate those space saver things!) My last car was an 07 Mazda3 SP23 hatch. Not a bad car for what it was, but with a 4 month old son it just wasn't big enough, the pram filled the hatch. I was surprised, and impressed, by the driveability of this car. Luxury and so much mid range torque. I was looking at n/a XR6's originally, but I don't regret spending a few extra dollars for the G6ET. Awesome car! I have owned my fair share of cars over the years, more than 20 actually, including a ZC, ZD, ZG, ZF, P5 LTD, X D , XE, EF Fairmont and various other cars, from a 750cc Subaru Fiori, to worked 351's with toploaders and 9' diffs. However, I have to say that the G6ET is the most pleasurable to drive. I haven't had it on the freeway yet, but I will just after xmas (the P5 LTD was excellent on the freeway!) My G6ET will remain stock standard for the foreseeable future as I enjoy it as it is. As an ex-mechanic (over 20 years ago) I understand why people modify these cars as they are a great base to start with.
