Just got home so gunna jump on the computer and start my hunting now lol will post links when I find some thanks for your help mate

I'm in Cranbourne (south east Melbourne) https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Ford-Falcon-2004/SSE-AD-4538488 this was the one I looked at today

Thanks guys... it didn't go as planned lol it seemed to drive nice but had too many bad points for me to go near it. 1. It had a quite bad vibration when idling but when you accelerate it goes away... 2. Had the typical BA Brake shudder but reasonable bad. 3. Turbo has apparently been replaced but no receipts could be shown for the work. There was also a dark stain on the exhaust I seen looked as if oil had been wiped off (could just be a spill but not sure) I loved the way it drove but the vibrations worrys me.. he has come down in price.. He is now asking $7200 roadworthy and reg till October but he said the vibration won't be fixed... Im going to give this one a miss I think.. dont think I can afford a decent xr6 turbo just yet lol my budget it 7500 at the very most so I think I'll keep saving my pennies for now lol

If the filter in the oil feed line to the turbo has not been replaced is this enough reason to steer clear of this car or would it still be ok and need done asap? How much would that filter cost to get changed on average? Thanks Thanks guys.. Appreciate your help.. Reason iv chosen xr6t is because I owned a BA (non turbo) years ago and loved it and never had an issue... I have looked a a sh*tload of car already been hunting for the last 3-4weeks and this one just caught my attention stood out from the crowd so to speak love the way it looks and within my price range I just worry it's all good now and then 2 weeks later something blows like the turbo but hey this could happen to any car... Just gotta check what I can and hope for the best haha not it really looking to mod it in any way at this stage just happy to have a nice clean tidy car as I'm currently driving a bit of a bomb.. I get soo nervous bout buying a car lol does my head in but I will get there..

Hi guys new to this site as Iv never owned a xr6 turbo. im going to look at a 2004 BA xr6 turbo in the morning done 175,000kms clean as a whistle all service history there also come with 8 months reg and a roadworthy certificate. Now iv been told a few things to look out for when buying one like the rear diff bushes.. Iv never been told how to check if the turbo is still ok .. Can someone tell me the easiest way to check if the turbo still has a fair bit of life left in it? keep in mind I'v never driven a xr6 turbo before so I may not notice loss of power as much as everyone else would... The car is completely stock and engine bay is pretty clean no rubber on the guards but this is a far as I'v got... Any help would be awesome
