I'm pretty well sold on the idea of a Typhoon but I've been presented with a number of options. Bear in mind that my prefered choice of colour is Rapid with Shockwave coming in a distant second.Option # 12005 plated Shockwave with six speed auto and 18" wheels for $55,500 driveaway price. The car is a display model not a demo therefore warranty starts when I take delivery. Available immediately, this weekend If I so desire.Option # 22006 plated Rapid with six speed auto and 18" wheels for $57,500 drive away price. I have to wait minimum eight weeks for delivery.Option # 32005 plated Rapid with six speed auto and 19" wheels for $59,000 drive away price. Available next couple of weeks (coming from another dealership). Price includes freight and $2,400 19" wheel option (ripoff).So there you have it, I'm open to suggestions and opions so post away I'm keen to hear what you all think.CheersBig ALI'd go the 2006 As far as future resale/trade value goes, the 2005 build cars are already a year old. Go the newie. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/22864-typhoon-dilema/page/4/#findComment-339524 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooltint Member 686 Member For: 22y 1m 4d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast QLD Posted 28/01/06 08:46 AM Author Share Posted 28/01/06 08:46 AM Hi All Thanx for the offers guys but you see it's not that I don't love the 19's, it's just that I couldn't justify the extra $3,000 the dealer wanted me to part with.I mean they're great looking wheels but would you pay the almost $6,000 price tag if you had the choice of any wheels you wanted (because you don't get to keep the 18's when you upgrade). As I said to the dealer, the 19's are supposed to be an option, but I was being bullied into buying them because of my preference of car colour and that just rubbed me the wrong way.As it turns out as the deadline for the hold on the Rapid Typhoon was looming ever closer the sales manager caved in and offered me the 18's swap to get me to commit before they lost the other car. But because I was able to negoiate all my accessory options into the deal and knock a further $150 off the best price offered I was satisfied and agreed to sign her up.So now the long wait 'til next weekend lol and hopefully barring any hiccups I'll be in my new Rapid Phoon for "Blonky's Crazy Mountain Pass Cruise"CheersBig AL Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/22864-typhoon-dilema/page/4/#findComment-341173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
