New 2007 Xr6t Bf Mkii

[kaldek]

FFS dont spend $50K+ on a car that's going to be outdated in February.

I disagree - the first of a new model is not necessarily a better buy than the last of an old model.

So the AU Series III is better than the original BA?

and the EL Series II is better than the original AU?

splashing 50k on a car that is in runout mode is a stupid idea, as soon as the Orion is released, BF MKII will drop BIG time in market value... If you want to loose 15k in a matter of months then that's cool with me.

Look at the BA 3 yrs on, low 20k will buy you an XR6t, trade in is mid teens...

To give you an idea, BA MK2 T's are now worth anywhere from $21 - $25 grand, standard of course, I know it hurts! *wholesale prices

South is dead right, why not wait for the new XR's *cough* Orion. BF's will loose so much value in such a short time, like the BA's did. Great for second owner but not the poor sucker that bought it.

$36,000 drive away employee.... I feel lucky

....like the BA's did.

I'd say it would be more substantial than that, BA -> BF was an insignificant change in comparison to what BF -> Orion will be.

I am sorry if im out of line here, but I fail to see how rubbing your "Ford Employee" price in everyones face every chance you get helps, the guy was asking for an estimate of what he would expect to pay, not know what you can buy a car for direct from ford, all it does is make every one else dirty about how much they paid for thier cars.

As for the prices, I recently priced up a New (build for me) 2007 BFmkII sedan, with the following

6 speed auto

Turbo (Duh)

Leather,

pemeium sound,

18"s

Duel Zone climate

Prestige paint

with zero screwing I had $44,100. drive away.

(PS< I ended up buying a late 2006 BF 6 spped auto sedan with 15k on it and all the other options + Ford alarm, DSC, as above for $35. X ford car, so it saved me $10K, which is good now as im only a poor mine worker.

I know I paid a few thousand too much for mine but I get over it pretty quick.

I think not to wait for the Orion is a huge mistake especially at this time. BF''s resale will plummet as will Orion and the model after that and so on. Dont base you purchase on re-sale, its not usally too relevant for a few years.

Ive always said with buying new cars if you turn up too a dealers ship wanting to buy the car at say 45K and you have on you exactly 45K in cash, whats the answer going to be???

I think you would find a dealer willing too budge big time. and then get the car you want. The more dealers you try the more chance you will have at this.
