Do you like the Falcon?←Can you please scroll up and see who attacked who first, and with what lame comment too There are cool guys on this forum that appreciate all good cars and there are dimwits who are mind f*cking themselves thinking their 30 K "T" is the best car on the planet... they also like to troll other NON Ford people with useless flaming as witnessed above.And yes I do appreciate a Barra T engine... I was thinking of buying an XR6T prior but then figured out Ive no need for 4 doors (young and single) and Id rather keep 12-15 K in my pocket as my Skyline was way cheaper for similar performance.← Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25148-ve-commodore-caught-on-camera/page/5/#findComment-377444 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think you will find the original turbo was produced by SAAB... not nissan (reference your sig)←I like all fast cars mate... is that hard to work out? and yes SAAB made the turbo but the Japs perfected it... as they usually do with Western technology... ← Mate settle down I was just stirring...

Imports dont depreciate much compared to Ford/Holden... its a known fact... you buy a brand new Falcon for 40-50 grand... after 1 years its worth around 3/4 of its price... after 3-4 years its worth half... How much were BA Xr6ts when they came out new in 2002? 48 grand? now you can buy them for 25 grand. I bought my GTST S2 for just under 18 grand (mint condition, only 43000km)... im quiet sure if I keep it mint thae I can sell it for 13-15 grand in a few years... and I got dealer warranty for 4 years with it too... extra 800 bucks. but yeh S2 R33s look nice, never been fan of R32s or S1 R33s... I love r34s though. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/25148-ve-commodore-caught-on-camera/page/5/#findComment-377724 Share on other sites More sharing options...

New cars hypothetically loose 25% of their value the first time they are driven out of the yard. How much is it to buy one of your better-than-anything-else vehicles brand new? Try doing your sums with comparative starting points you clown.

cobrav8 Member 1,969 Member For: 20y 1m 16d Gender: Male Location: New Zealand Posted 05/05/06 04:09 AM Share Posted 05/05/06 04:09 AM I have to agree with TAB - you can compare the depreciation on a used scragly Nissan to the depreciation on a new Sparkly Shining Ford.If you want to do that - find a Falcon of the same year as your car - then compare - and I bet you will find the Ford comes out on top for mid-age cars.Go back a few years - eg a 1969 Falcon - and if in good condition - it is probably worth more now than it was new. I bet you cant say the same for any main stream Nissan of the same age.
