adamw Member 143 Member For: 20y 6m 30d Location: Darwin Posted 15/05/07 08:08 AM Share Posted 15/05/07 08:08 AM Hi guysI'm a new member - located in Darwin.I'm looking to buy a BF or BF II XR6 turbo with the 6spd auto. I'm finding a few for sale but they seem unrealistically priced - the dealer up here wants 40k for a used 2005 BF with the ZF and no options.Does anyone know ofa) anyone selling one privately for a realistic priceorb) a dealer who is selling demos for a good price35k is really the most I would spend.At the pickles auction here, a clean 06 with the ZF (no options) went for 29k with 40k's on the clock. That was about 3 months ago - I wasn't ready to buy at the time unfortunately.Thanks guys.Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Here since the start...

I think you are going to have to increase the budget by a reasonable amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are going to have to increase the budget by a reasonable amount.Not quite sure what you mean by 'with what you want'. I'm happy with 2nd hand (doesnt have to be a demo), I don't need any options -- the only thing I'm really mandating is the ZF box. it can even be an 05.I'm not sure why 35k wouldn't be a reasonable budget for that given the prices I've seen them fetch at auction (29k). Granted, you're buying without driving, and it could have issues - but it is still under new car warranty - I thought adding another 6k on top of that would get me one easily - but seemingly not.I can't increase the $35k budget so if I can't find one for that price, I have to find something else unfortunately.Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
