HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 3m 20d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 02/12/05 10:23 AM Author Share Posted 02/12/05 10:23 AM Well just got back home after taking the FOON for a spin in the wet. Be back tomorrow for a more umm.....Controlled test drive and some number crunching...lol.Mmmmmm. Compare a XR6 TURBO (ute or sedan) to a F6 Typhoon....Umm, you can't. Not a chance in Hades!!!Hmmmm..........Have some hard thinking to do now. It's a lot of money, if I had more paid off the ute, then no drama, I can afford it now but would have to go on a Balloon option to bring payments down to a more comfortable $260 with additional $$ thrown in....Hmm. It's a stretch. But hell, "WHAT A RIDE"!!!!!!!Thinking I should save for one of my own down the track.Took some pics but they are really Mobile pics.Ambrose and Ingall Signature.......LOL, I said no deal unless they take it to the all Ford day on Sunday and get Craig Lowndes sig there as well, hahaha. :hiwelcome:The nice, fat end of a sedan, ahh, how I miss thee. And a FOON at that.....Mmmm.Crappy shot of the interior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BALLBREAKER Member 427 Member For: 19y 8m 4d Gender: Male Posted 02/12/05 10:38 AM Share Posted 02/12/05 10:38 AM Hmm, Need to make a decision by tomorrow. Keep Mandy or get a 2nd hand Lightning Strike F6 Typhoon. It has all the bells and whistles. Probably a good $70K worth of FPV when it was purchased by the owner. Soo soo tempting but they are offering a $30K trade on Mandy. Change over is not cheap but x 10,000,000!!!After all the figures, no balloon BS, payments will be $360 a fortnight.Another bonus, it has the signatures of Ambrose and Ingall on the passenger airbag cover...lol.Lets just say, if I don't make the exchange, I'll at least be having one hell of a test drive tomorrow morning. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>WARNING if you test drive HER take your money with you. :hiwelcome: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money - you can't take it with you.B. Life is too short. Enjoy it whilst you can. Good luck with the numbers Wayne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently it's $30,000, the Foon should come down at least $5000. It has done a lot of KMS for a Dec 2004 F6 Foon. Mid 26,000'sSome would say, just ran in and oh boy is it!!! See how I go. Research making me sleeeepy....lol.Wish me luck with the car yard sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't have a lot of debt and have been able to save a bit. Leaving now to spend some hours negotiating, I need to make the deal of the century here or it's no go and from what other members have scored (wish I knew your secrets), it appears there are better deals out there. It would be nice but is it really worth it? A BF down the track is starting to make more sense.Here I go.........lol.Outcome: Very nice F6 or Mandy's getting some gonads, finally can mod the ute.......lol. I'll need to now, damn teest drive.....lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
