Is it the XR8 with luxury pack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont buy a manual white XR6T youre basically adding 2000 to the cost of yer car.Such optioning is how Ford make profits, guess I cant deny em that. But I note that Mazda dont charge extra for their paint choices (at least for Mazda 3s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's either sink or swim for them, especially since Ford Australia is on its own now, Ford US aren't going to bail them out if things get bad!

To me that's illogical.Options dont add any value come trade time, all they might do is differentiate one car from another.So the Ford is worth $45K, but we pay $50K for it, and the Bogan special is $50K but you pay $50K. If that makes sence.I dont mean to pick out of it, I just think its an anomoly because the Fords dont align as well as they used to with Holden, model wise.
