Thanks again,

The more I read the more I want a T its just a lot of money $25.000 so I want to get it right and I have always driven manuals but this time I am prepared to go to the auto with S/shift because sometimes I wish I had an auto but still love manuals and this way I'd kinda have both yeah? but like I said I dont think the manuals are so good in the 03, the 6 speed yes but that's a different price and year.

Just hope Im doing the right thing $25.000 on a car, theres always driving my EF till the end but then I figure you only live once and FORDS are cool except AU's of cousre.

Thanks

I love this site you guys.....and Gals are great

Have asked for a 03/04 XR6T, Blueprint and yeah they said the T comes with prem sounds with 6 cd stacker (Sounds are a big thing for me) with under 40.000 k's on clock and Ian reckons can get me one, they have offered me $6.000 trade for mine which I paid $15.000 4 years ago (no value in cars) so Ill owe $25.000 but to Drive a 03 XR6T with about 30.000kms on the clock..........PRICELESS!

PS:I Have also thought about going for the Lease option.?

Depends on what you do for a job, how you can claim it, etc. I checked with my accountant before purchasing my XR6 and he said Corporate Hire Purchase was the best way to go for me. Doesn't hurt to ask!

HEY!

Thanks to everyone for your your help its been great and YES I have made up my mind I am going to hunt for a XR6T.

I went to work today and a workmate said he had a mate that was selling his 2005 BA XR6 in mint condition with 11k on the clock for $24.000 and I had to say thanks but Im going for an XR6T now.

I really do want the 240kw its a bit like my EF XR6 after I got it every time I saw the same model XR8, I wished I had got that instead.

So... the XR6T it is.

Thanks again everyone that's all I needed a bit of a push from all you guys and gals who drive them.

As well as looking privately I have a Car Dealer mate who has been getting me lists of 2003/04 NA XR6's that all have under 20k on them for around $24.000 NZ which I think is a fair price so I will ask him tomorrow to throw a T on the end and see what happens...

For the $25.000 I want to spend I would say I will have to settle for an 2003 XR6T with low kms

I CANT WAIT

THANKS ALL!

Jason.

Don't get too hung up on getting a T with low ks - more important is how its been driven and maintained. A car that's done 60,000 kms on the open road will be in much better shape than something that's been driven around town for 30,000 kms.

I'd recommend that you drive a few before you decide.

[jasonxr695]

Where it has been driven might be a hard thing to tell but thanks for the advise, I'm not rushing into this purchase like my last one but nearly bought an XR6T today after taking it for a drive 'AWESOME car' but I dont like the Acid Rush so much really set on getting a Blueprint

Ford motors gave me the Colour chart for the new BF range and I like the Icon and Wired but I still think Blueprint is the best

No I would have thought the best of both worlds would be a F6 and a XR6T for around town

Oh and

[jasonxr695]

Im thinking the way vehicles are devaluing Leasing might be the way to go in 4 years an 03 XR6T that cost me $25k, $19k with trade and $25K again with interest will only be worth what maybe $10 - 12.000.

My 95 XR6 cost me $22k all up and now its worth $6.000, that sucks

some Leasing benifits can be...

No Rego or WOF costs

Serviced for free

Tyre replacement depending on lease term

24hr breakdown cover and replacement if needed.

Not sure about insurance but I guess that's covered to as what would you care its not your car.

and BEST OF ALL you get to drive the latest XR6T every 2 years or so.

Terms range from min of 12 months to 45 months max and all you need to do is estimate your annual kms

They say its more for a small bussiness or the self employed but I dont know so much.

It just makes me wonder now my car is worth $6.000 and cost me $22.000
