New 2007 Xr6t Bf Mkii

[Rambo]

Hi everyone,

Great forums and I have enjoyed keeping up-to-date with everyone's thoughts, opinions and recommendations over time.

It is finally time for me to upgrade from my old '95 EF.

I am definitely keen on the XR6T and have had many months of scratching my head over it and the features I would want to incorporate.

The following is a list of what I desire and the RRP with each. I'm hopeful of a great deal including a dealer throwing a few of the options in for free.

2007 Falcon XR6 Turbo BF MkII $42,990

ZF-6 speed auto $ 1,500

XR Sports Leather Trim $ 1,000

Alarm System $ 579

Reverse sensing system $ 563

Bluetooth Kit $ 495

Standard Towpack (1600 kg) $ 512

Carpet Mats XR Logo (4 mats) $ 113

Dashmat $ 62

Mudspats $ 70

Scuff Plates XR Inserts $ 36

Headlamp guards $ 100

XR Fog Lamp Guards $ 55

$48,075 (RRP)

Stamp duty + dealer del + 3rd party $ 4,000 (APPROX.)

$52,075

Now I have obviously done my sums and a lot of research (including prices) on this. I have included everything that I am keen to get in the package for my personal wants/ needs.

My target purchase price is under $45k inclusive of everything above.

Could I please get the experienced thoughts and opinions from everyone as to whether you believe getting this XR6T and the features at this price of UNDER $45k is definitely viable, or am I just being silly?

Any other recommendations on altering the above list or suggesting purchase prices that you think I should be happy to buy at, will be grateful also!

Thanks for the help everyone, happy XR6T motoring!

All looks pretty good mate bar the mud flaps . Keep in mind that you could probably get an 05-06 Phoon for that price if you hunt around unless your after a brand spanker. Good luck with it

Looks good mate,

I was about myself to purchase an 07 XR6T but due to quiting my job ive gotta wait another month or two. To work out a good price roughly for a start you should be able to get the cost of your on road costs for free. Whether that shows as a dealer discount or shows some accessories for free. The price I got given was about $4500 off the car. But I was wanting a manual. I used to sell new cars for Nissan, there is always a few thousand to play with each car. Most dealers wont give that much discount your best bet is to get a best qoute from one dealer then take that to another dealer to see if they can bet it and so on.

Best of luck

Just read the rest of your post, $45K would be a huge stretch and wouldnt think you could get that, possibly a manual maybe but certainly not an auto. I think your best price would be around $48,000 ish give or take alittle.

Mate, I just picked mine up with basically all the same stuff, but no leather seats and I included the factory sat nav ($3,100). All up cost was $48,700 in the end, drive away - not counting any insurance. This was a novated lease purchase, bought with fleet discounts ($5,000) so that probably explains some of the difference.

$52k seems a bit excessive to my mind. But I don't think $45k drive away is realistic for an XR6 turbo unless you have some form of bargaining power, like a dealer you know personally, etc.

I'm sure you should be able to bargain them down a fair bit on that price.

As I've stated before in another post, there's a Blue BF F6, ZF box with leather, FPV steering wheel and very low ks at my local dealer at the moment for around $48k. If I was in the market for a new car right now I'd jump at that one.

3 grand for sat nav, that's a serious rip off. With that sort of money you could buy a carputer that would do satnav and a whole lot more.

Isn't the falcon supposed to be in runout mode?

They have been advertising free Premium Luxury package (dual climate control + leather)... You should be able to get your options for under 45k drive away without any problems...

I'm pretty sure someone here ordered one very similar for 41k a few weeks ago... Tell the dealer to pull there head in, BF MKII is at the end of the road, if Ford dealerships want to make money between now and Orion then they have to give you a FANTASTIC deal!

Meh. Novated lease = maximise my potential resale value. Resale value is not helped by aftermarket addons, only factory options. I will not be altering this car in any way over its 3-year lease cycle.

FFS dont spend $50K+ on a car that's going to be outdated in February.
