ford268 Member 140 Member For: 18y 4d Posted 08/07/07 11:27 AM Author Share Posted 08/07/07 11:27 AM yes they are the same. I checked today, I have been looking around and the xr8s are alot cheaper. I can get an 06, xr8, 20000kms 6sman for $30000. which is sorta making me lean more towards that, due to the money I have already lost. atleast it will have more power than wat I have now. I need 30 for my car so ill just wait till I get it. I do not like buying 2nd hand cars, I dont like not knowing what its been through. use dont think it couldve been thrashed to much in 20000km do you?

Im sure the car will be fine, besides you have warranty, nothing wrong with good ol' ford warranty. lol. Try Just Cars, there extras/ excess is high but my premiums are about 1600 per year(I had only JUST turned 20 when I got it last year, so the price should be similarish providing your history is good), service has been good . Good luck with what ever you choose! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
