I was very impressed with the box but I just could not justify spending that type of money when my car has only done 30000kms. It just didnt have any extra WOW I though it would.I sat down with the sales man and he gave me a price of $69832.00 plain car all standard. I was like WTF and asked him to give me something better. He went away and came back with $60832.00 with free mats and FPV steering wheel (how easy was that). I then asked about my car. Its a Aug '04 5speed with 30000kms on it but due to the 2 month delivery date for the F6 I sort of organised that in two months time that he give me $30000.What do you guys think about this........BTW the standard brakes are completly fine unless you are thinking of going on the track everyday.CheersAdrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason I didnt buy a GT/F6 was that it attracts too much unwanted attention, id be stressing about it too much if I left it in a carpark or something similar!A poor bastard that comes into work has had his F6 debadged 3 times now, and every time they remove the badges, they scratch the hell outta the paint too....

I might have to go snooping around my dealer and see what he has to say...Has anyone driven the BA and BF 'phoons (or Ts for that matter) back to back? Is the interior noise substantially reduced like they claim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondie Firm Member Donating Members 2,924 Member For: 22y 3m 7d Location: Adelaide Hills Posted 28/12/05 09:47 PM Share Posted 28/12/05 09:47 PM Looks like Ford continues to undermine its resale and customer loyalty. Why the *beep* would a dealer need to sell a BA F6 for $47k or discount the new BF model by $9k?Good for you Adrian but it all seems so small minded and short sighted to me.
