HellionXR6T I'm Back!! Thats right, long over due! :) Lifetime Members 4,348 Member For: 22y 1m 15d Gender: Male Location: West Brisbane Posted 10/01/06 05:30 AM Share Posted 10/01/06 05:30 AM Check it out, sounds good, providing it's in good nic. Go for it See what they do for your trade. Think what you would pay for the car and what you would accept as a trade. Have your "change over" amount set in your mind but aim for less of a change over figure. Either that or name your terms so they know not to mess you around.Good luck.

CheapXR6T Inactive Members 1 Member For: 18y 11m 7d Posted 12/01/06 04:51 AM Share Posted 12/01/06 04:51 AM I bought my run out BA2 XR6 Turbo a couple of months ago (Nov 05) for $36,340 plus stamp duty (which is $3000 in WA ) plus rego (600). Just under 40k on the road, or about 25% discount off RRP. I didn't have a trade in.Its a newie (not a demo) and is pretty much a stocker. This was the advertised price in the local paper - probably could have got it cheaper still if I'd haggled with any enthusiasm.

Think I'll start with the bad. Well it's not to be. I followed XR6TU advice and many others, but I stuck to my guns and didn't budge with the trade in difference and so did the sales man, but I did get them to throw in Mats - Sports Steering Wheel - and a Track Day plus transfer fee. After all of this they came back with a change over price of $27,000 but that was no where near what I was hoping for. Never mind I'll just have to wait I guess.Now to the good news. OMG what a car! I have never expreience anything like that before. It was beautiful car to drive in every aspect. Now I can see why all the Typhoon owners love it so much. Now I really do want one.Once again thanks heaps everyone. Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was soo hard to say no the the 2nd hand Typhoon I was looking at as , what a special car that was "Azul" will just have to do nicely. Least I scored the Lux. pack and a few other goodies with this one. Just need a nice "AHEM" tune and all will be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
