Cool, thanks for clearing that up. I don't think I want a novated lease as I wouldn't want the pressure to drive over 25,000kms in a year.

It's an XR6T !! No pressure to drive those ks. The main trouble is staying out of the beast ! :lol:

Salary Packaged vehicles can work well, but need to be asessed on a case by case basis, depending on what you buy, how much you earn, the distance that you drive each year, and the percentage of business kilometres that you travel.

Another factor, related to what you buy, is resale value, as, unless you are keeping the vehicle, at the end of the lease, you will want to trade it in, or sell it, and you need to get at least the residual value, or else you'll be out of pocket.

It's even better if it has kept it's value well, because the difference between resale and residual, if positive, goes IN your pocket - a nice little bonus if you can arrange it.

Save your doe mate,the T is a heap of 

The amount of headwatsanames,time off road aint worth it.

Ive had a fight with my dealer every time the  heap broke down.

If you like overboost,then go for one.

That is ,plant your foot when overtaking;and see how lucky you are,is it gunna go like it should;or are you gunna  konk out ,its a nice car,,,if it worked,,,the software SUCKS bigtime

$200 + another $200 and you might get close to insurance for a T

Fairly harsh call there Vik. So what are you driving now?

Hey guys, if I buy the car either privately or from a dealer interstate, can I still get warranty repairs in the ACT?

Hi Towner, I can't see why not (provided the car you buy is still under warranty!). You'll have to double check with the other guys, but your warranty should remain intact regardless of which state you got the car from.

Im telling it like it is ,I nearly sold it after strawberry milk episode...

There is no way I would have bought this car if I knew it overboosted....

A car conking out on you while overtaking is bull

Would you tell someone to buy it if you knew that???

I would appreciate you telling me ,prolly sit back and wait for a fix.

How happy would you be ,here luv drive to melbourne in it to visit your folks.

Just be carefull overtaking,when it conks out ,just turn it off and start it again ,youll be right....

We shouldnt have to put up with untill its fixed the T is a pile of

I install a set of taps,they have to work or I hear all about it,how can ford get away with a car that conks out

Until Ford come out with the overboost fix (not long to wait I'm told-better not be a moneymaking excercise)Vik is pretty close to the mark imho.Overboost while overtaking is all your worst nightmares come true.How they,ve(Ford) got away with it this long is hard to understand.Basically a good car but if they could press straight doors,fit decent radiators,fit all turbos with premium brakes as standard,get rid of the rattles and squeaks,get rid of manual gearstick buzz,do away with the standard sound system,colour match the bumpers to the body properly,get rid of driveline shunt and fit a properly balanced tailshaft it'd be a whole lot better car.Sounds worse than it is but some or all these things have been experienced by some forum members.Would I buy one now knowing what I know. NO....................................I'd buy an XR8(with many of the same faults) and fit Boss edit for 300 rwkw I'm told.I,m one year into a three year car ownership cycle and I'm stuck with it for now.If Ford fix the overboost I'll be happy to ignore the other faults.
