They will be in touch shortly.Great problem to have. I'd suggest XR8 ute/Pursuit option - should have better resale than the sedan. There must be good deals on the 8 and I think Ford have a promo (free options) at the moment on them (not sure on the ute though) Whatever you do, don't rush the decision - it's very very exciting weighing up the pros and cons, the $$$'s, options, seat of the pants assessments etc!I've been half tempted to trade the T for a Boss V8 for the past few months now - just for the experience. I still rate the T as high the day I got it, so I'll probably do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they still elegible to be leased? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good info Mondie. Poor bugger (Charliewool), best to hang onto it if he can.I always assumed that the utes had better resale than the sedans even after factoring the lower purchase price of the ute.$40k for a near new Pursuit is good buying on the 2nd hand market - presents another option bearing in mind the small pool of potential buyers.

BA_Turbs Member 836 Member For: 21y 5m 15d Gender: Male Posted 14/05/04 07:05 AM Share Posted 14/05/04 07:05 AM Tough decision to have to make!I love the T3, but it may not meet the lease requirements. Would take one over a BA, like someone said, the amount of effort that was put into making the T3 a winner just seems to make it that much better than the stock BA units... Many many people will disagree, so I'll word it carefully, but I preferred the AU series as a driver's car over the BA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Donating Members 2,657 Member For: 21y 10m 25d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 16/05/04 12:04 AM Share Posted 16/05/04 12:04 AM Go the FPV option.........which ever one, who cares, it's a GT. Although if the ute is more appealing then Vixen would be the better colour, believe me, put them side by side and the Vixen is more 'alive', Blood Orange is nice, but looks flat in full sun.Check pic, Venom on left, Vixen in middle, Blood Orange on right.
