Lightning Member 335 Member For: 22y 4m 30d Location: Perth, Western Australia Posted 31/12/07 02:39 AM Share Posted 31/12/07 02:39 AM (edited) Hi guys,The 5 years finance is up on my BA 'T' in March next year and I am really mulling over what to do then. Firstly, I'm after some indication of what the car's worth now. It's stock plus:Performance BrakesSunroofLeather SeatsPremium SoundSports Steering WheelAs per probably most users here, it's been extremely well looked after, my friends can't believe it's nearly 5 years old. Interior's virtually unmarked, usually only me in it and rarely anyone in the back.Other than the self inflicted stuff (all repaired), there's been nothing wrong with it. Redbook reckon about $20K (tops), but that's stock. Any ideas based on the above? Oh, about 72,000km.Anyway, I really don't know what to go for next. A new BA MKII Turbo again? Or something European that isn't quite so rough around the edges, if you know what I mean. I had a BMW 325i as a hire car in RSA last year and loved it. A friend of mine has 2 SAAB's that he really likes. I really, really like the oomph of the T and the general looks, but the clunky drivetrain still sh*ts me. I've finally got rid of the 'woosh woosh' of the hand brake, but that was another. We won't even talk about the l/km. Comments? Thoughts?Simon....

With any luck some of the fualts that you've had with your BA will be gone.

I reckon they look tops and probably go like the clappers too.

Ya might want to drive around a cheap clanger until you see what Ford really have to offer in the new 2008 Falcon XR6 T?

Might be time to chat to my friendly Ford dealer before the 2008 models come out. Are there are threads on it? I'll have a search. Not sure if I want to get v1 of a new car again though.Simon....
