Apart from that, "Fruit Bowls" are a bit "in your face" :lol: It's a pity you had to sell it but I hope we still see you on future cruises.

If you were selling parts off it to bring it back to stock, I'd happily swap 4x factory 18's + some cash for those 19's and suspension!I love the car, Andrew, but mine's been too good to me over the past 12 months so I just can't part with it (even though it's not a T).

Cypher Member 68 Member For: 21y 22d Posted 25/08/04 11:00 AM Share Posted 25/08/04 11:00 AM Could the low price be something to do with it being a turbo and the potential for it being thrashed??? This may be in the mind of potential second hand buyers.It is a performance car after all and isn't that why we buy these type of cars? Not that I am saying all our cars are not well maintained but I think it is part of owning a performance car! It may be hard to sell once you need to replace it.Just my 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cul08r Guests Posted 25/08/04 12:14 PM Share Posted 25/08/04 12:14 PM Hey Guys,Well isn't the speculation rife here tonight...Firstly Cypher, if anyone had the thought that a turbo would not hold their resale value due to it potentially being thrashed, I would say WAKE UP AND PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR A$$. ANY car can be thrashed. Look at a WRX, or any other turbo or supercharged or V8 car. People don't have a problem paying decent money for most of them, even if they assume that they have been flogged. Don't take this personally mate, cos it's not a slag at you by any means, but if you think that a second hand XR6 Turbo has not been driven how you would drive it (hard ocasionally, lets all admit) then you are kidding yourself.Anyway, all the BA Fords are having problems, not just turbos. Hell, all cars are cheap at the moment, even new ones.XR8s second hand private sales for $36k, Fairmonts for $27k, XR6 NAs for $26k, the market is a joke at the moment. I can get a VY SS with good history and about 30K at the moment for $28k. This car was $50k on road 18 months ago...My new car might have stars, it might be a Nissan (GTR anyone?), and it might be a station wagon too. AWD though at this stage.CITRIC, you have until midday tomorrow to come and swap the wheels. Do you think the new owner would notice? Actually, if you are serious, PM me and I will put you in contact with the guy, cos he actually wanted 18s...Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cul08r Guests Posted 26/08/04 01:07 AM Share Posted 26/08/04 01:07 AM I am delivering the car today. It will be a last drive down the F3. It's going to the Sutherland area. Actually, I might take it down the Old Pacific Highway... Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT hey we all know cars aren't an investment in money, but an investment in comfort and passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
