So now i've got to wait 24hours :( to see if the lease is going through and then i'll be shooting off to place the order.Once i've ordered i'll post up what they'll have who they are and where they are.They'll also do aftermarket leather for $2200 one week turn around so hopefully this time next week i'll be cruizin if i dont change my mind and go back to the darkside(or he was stringing me along to get a sale ).

Is it better, 'cause its more expensive than factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that was a better offer than having to wait 2-3months just for factory fitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wanted a Phantom one I could have got this. The wife did not like to colour so I will wait till April. There are a few dealers that are doing fleet discounts on the Turbo.. Sunford, Etheridge (Stef) Jefferson Mentone.. Fleet discounts only come if you work for a company that gets national fleet discount... I definately have national fleet discount on my XR6T...

cvanxr Member 502 Member For: 22y 1m 17d Location: Country NSW Posted 10/12/02 11:16 PM Share Posted 10/12/02 11:16 PM I should add this. I don't blame the dealers. There is not much in it for them as my company can buy cheaper than Ford employees. I have a car on order, but have to wait until next year. Never been any good at waiting and I would love one NOW. Ain't gonna happen though. Unless it's a bloody miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
