thalamus Member 25 Member For: 19y 6m 30d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 04/04/06 03:10 PM Share Posted 04/04/06 03:10 PM Hi allBeen reading through the posts for the last 6 months or so, first post though. Cheers to all for good tips, and lookin forward to a WA drive soon!Anywho, onto my question. Purchased an ex-demo 2004 XR6T ute from Adelaide almost a year ago, and all the papers say that it is a mkII. Thing is, it has a 5 speed manual and no mkII badges...so I am a little suss.What's the best way to determine for sure what it is? And if it is a mkI, I guess I will have to ask that the dealer swap it for a mkII.Cheers!-T.

Either way I'm thinkin it is going to be a hassle to get any kind of compensation from Ford.thanks hiddeous Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24536-xr6t-mki-or-mki/#findComment-367309 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get a good price? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/24536-xr6t-mki-or-mki/#findComment-367367 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrav8 Member 1,969 Member For: 20y 2m 7d Gender: Male Location: New Zealand Posted 05/04/06 02:34 AM Share Posted 05/04/06 02:34 AM A couple of points:1. The car was an ex-demo - so wasnt ordered as a new car (could have even been ex-demo and second hand?)2. Utes dont normally have backseats3. Auto lights on - utes? I know eg they didnt have illuminated window switches on utes - so maybe not lights on?I would have thought the deciding factors - wheels, 6 speed manual.No idea what your grounds of replacement would be like - slim I would have guessed.
