So XR8 and the T have identical pricing which I guess because the SS starts around that price now.

So, what do Ford have as a competitor to the Bogan special ? Is it the XR8 with luxury pack?

can I just add that its a joke that Ford make all paints except the white and red cost $400. 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).

Its a valid point mate, just consider yourself lucky that you are buying a porsche boxter, last time I checked metallic silver was $2750!

You also have to remember that Ford has been running at a loss for quite awhile, so there is only so much that they can do with the price. 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!

that would be about it Flukey, similar pricing

Which I dont agree with, because you have to spend $50K on a $45K car, to make it the equal of the competition. 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. :roflmbo:

If that makes sence.

I dont mean to pick :shocked: out of it, I just think its an anomoly because the Fords dont align as well as they used to with Holden, model wise.

But you have to remember Flukey, the XR8 is in competition with the SS, not the Bogan special - a luxury pack brings it up to the spec of Bogan special though, then its the same price
