YOOT Member 1,201 Member For: 21y 10m 20d Location: Birkdale Posted 10/10/06 10:13 AM Share Posted 10/10/06 10:13 AM Signed the forms, and accepted the cheque and watched my baby of 2.5 years drive down the road at the hands of its new owner.I had a great time in that car, it treated me well. I had no mechanical problems, and it copped a hiding with me at the helm, and loved avery minute of it.I managed to get away with only 30% brake wear, still has the original tyres, and only traveled some 35,000km in that time.It was a joy to own, and it looked after me in the resale department, costing me less than $10K in in 2.5years, that's a damn good return. Especially on a Ford!I am moving on (or back to) a Subaru in the not too distant future, but between now and then I will enjoy the financial freedom and save up some hard earned cash.So from here I bid you farewell as an active member of this forum. I will still browse this site regularly to keep up to date with this model. But my membership in this exclusive club has come to an end.Thank you to all who I met, and those that I cruised with, great times, all the best!

Turbo6man Lifetime Members 4,084 Member For: 22y 6m 29d Gender: Male Location: South Coast NSW Posted 10/10/06 11:32 AM Share Posted 10/10/06 11:32 AM You're lucky that utes seem to hold their value better than sedans. Not many people with sedans can get out of them after two years for such a small depreciation. Good for you.As for going to a Subaru - well, to each his own I s'pose. Just close the door gently on your way out ...

If I need the go fast bug I'll buy a FOrester XT instead of an OUtback, but we'll see!
