Full detains in the SIG.I'm told that it should be ready some time in june but, they say you can tell when a dealer is lying to you when his lips are moving :lol: . Hopefully it will be some time around then.Did you take advantage of the Falcon Freedom Pack? Isher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IsherI just spent the worst night of my life (maybe a small exageration!)How can you sleep, knowing that you have to wait for a beast like the XR6T? My eyes are stinging, and I'm tired and grumpy!! I want my car ... NOW! Dealer says June, maybe?... anyway, I asked about the Freedom pack and it worked out that I would only get about $1200 worth of value out of it, so we re-negotiated the deal and he ended up giving me about $1600 worth of free bits and pieces, e.g., sump guard, tint/leather/paint/rust protection, etc.I have the Ford XR6T wallpaper on my computer, so I will be constantly reminded that my new baby is on the way.Hope I get some sleep tonight :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
