Might organise for a test drive after work today. How practical/reliable are these as a daily. I do about 40kms a day for work mon to fri then just weekend use.

Ok, I'm kind I'm worried now about going d own the BA route. I do love them though. What would this one be like. I know I'll not know until I drive it but seems ok. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/mount-lawley/cars-vans-utes/2004-ford-falcon-ba-xr6t-purple-4-speed-auto-seq-sportshift-sedan/1012989082

This one worth a look? http://www.gumtree.com.au/c-ViewAd?AdId=1012630233

How much on average do bf's go for?

Lol about the rod coming out of block. I can stretch a little extra but the problem is I'm in a bit of a hurry. I'm losing my work ute very soon as they need it elsewhere and public transport is not an option!!!! I live in manning and workin kelmscott so need a car!!! I'm going to have to find something.

So you think it would be a costly fix??!! Back in the hunt again then so :(.

He is moveable on price slightly. My mate is a mechanic but said he'd need a better look on a lift to know for sure. It did drive awesome. Anyone know of any others in that price range available. Would spend a small bit more for the right one.

Hi there. New to this scene. I'm irish living here in Perth. Time has come to get a new car. Have never had an XR6T but its definitely what I want. I went for a test drive in an immaculate white 05 one tonight. Drove very well, pulled hard on boost, immaculate body work. But few problems: 1. Leaking power steering fluid (not bad) 2. Small engine oil leak (not bad, possible seal??, seemed fresh) 3. Small gearbox leak (had a gear box refurbishment in November with receipts) 4. Leak in rear diff (possible seal??) Are these common problems. I loved everything about the car and only for my mate who's a mechanic I probably would have taken it but thought I'd research first. Any advice welcome because I have no experience. I can link the car if anyone thinks they might know it.
