Guest freemchr Guests Posted 08/10/02 11:29 PM Share Posted 08/10/02 11:29 PM Well Ive just purchased an XR6 Turbo and am awaiting delivery in mid November. Im pretty eager to take it for a spin. Just wondering has anyone bought one yet? And if so what do you think what are your expectations? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most dealers are quoting me late dec, early Jan, In fact one dealer Courtnet and Patterson were claiming Feb may be the earliest! Perhaps they are just trying to scare me into placing an order. I'll keep shopping for the best price for a while longer. Anyway, good luck and PLEASE share your Turbo experience (new love affair) with us here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And these are like the biggest dealers in Sydney. Ive been told (due to both my folks working at Ford in Sydney) that they are dry until December/January once these are sold out.But again in February they are going to start producing more of them.

Guest DZ13 Guests Posted 11/10/02 04:27 AM Share Posted 11/10/02 04:27 AM I just happened to visit Surfside Ford on the Goldcoast - they've got one XR6 Turbo left - November build which I assume means a December arrival. They said after that there will be a 3 month waiting list. I wasn't planning to put any money down until December so looks like I'll have to wait until March next year before I get one.

Guest Phantom Guests Posted 11/10/02 09:38 AM Share Posted 11/10/02 09:38 AM Mine is due on 29th October but it was ordered about a month ago. I can't wait and will keep reading everything written until I get it. I'm only hoping the clip thing won't delay delivery. Another guy at work was supposed to pick up a Ghia on Tuesday but that has been put until next Thursday because of the clip recall.Thanks for setting up this site I can't get enough XR6T talk.
