Schmooth Member 105 Member For: 19y 4m 9d Location: Canberra Posted 30/12/05 05:54 AM Share Posted 30/12/05 05:54 AM Wife and I were watching TV last night and saw the adds for the MKII Falcon runout deals. Turbos from $33,990 etc. Our ears pricked up and I was duly despatched this morning to cut a deal.We own a 12/03 Silhouette BA XR6 Turbo MkI with 4spd auto, premium sound, tint, towpack, XR floor mats, 12 months rego, new tyres, and 57,000 kms on the clock.I spied a brand new '05 plated Menace BA XR6T MkII with 4 spd auto and premium sound. Quoted 'on road' for $38,500 (which included factory $2000 cash back that finished today), which I thought was pretty good. Then the news got better when offered $25,800 for trade in! The deal was all but done in my mind.Another dealer offered me a '05 Blaze for about $40k, with sports leather interior and premium sound, and about $24k for the trade (but wife hates that Blaze colour), which I also thought was more than fair.Another dealer offered a car similar to the Menace on road for $47k with a trade of $21k.... Go figure Anyway, looks like I got the cart before the horse as the payout for the lease was more than I expected (and significantly more than the best trade price). Oh well, maybe next year and grab a BF series instead.The encouraging thing about the whole experience was the good trade in price (well, good compared to some of the prices I'd seen quoted on these boards)offered by 2 dealers for a runout special - I might have expected a decent trade for a full price new car, but not on this particular car.

blinkau Member 2 Member For: 19y 3m 4d Posted 30/12/05 11:10 AM Share Posted 30/12/05 11:10 AM Do you reckon it would be possible to get a 02/03 xr6t manual private or at the auctions for around 20-23k? Im hoping to get one to replace by AU2 forte and just hoping I have enough cash to get one! Iv seen a few for sale on here for 25k but none less then that :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
