gu4800 Member 156 Member For: 17y 9m 20d Location: Brisbane Posted 07/05/08 12:01 PM Share Posted 07/05/08 12:01 PM I would normally agree, however this Force6 is apparently $41K with just 14,000k's on it. Assuming its a 2006, that means its dropped $30K in value in 2 years Whats it going to be like after another 2 year??This has been for sale for a while (was at $44,900 - and probably still is the sticker price) and is the CHEAPEST on the market. Yes, it has dropped $30K in 2 years, but it is being sold at well below market value. There are a few others around $50K, but most are $50K plus.This is just a very, very, very good buy at this price (provided the car is OK in terms of condition). This is well below even Redbook prices - and you won't see that very often.Are the Force series numbered, and did they make any "P" series in the Force? This may be an early prototype/press type car. Only way to be sure is to find out who the original owner was.If it checks out, buy it!!!!!CheersDan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a SV6, or SS, or R8 lover... enough said when they are Hole'dens/HSV, but for some reason the Senator say's to me NICEEEEE, if only it was a FPV...Ask urself if u want a few extra power features or a bit of a 'head turned'...Either way you will be happy.... As for the Rspec shocks... I drove both the Rspec and the non F6's - just as all the dealers I spent more then 15 mins with agreed that there isn't much noticeable difference, only a little....(Drive really hard and then the story might be different..)*** Buy both, dont drive either - get a buzz box, then sell them in about 10 yrs and see if there is a bit of a profit to be made... heheheh Edited 07/05/08 12:09 PM by smicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dealer informed me that the car has nevr been sold was the SA ford directors car so it still comes will the FPV drive day and according to the books I will be the first owner. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. I think I will wait a week or so and see what happens if I find a nice R Spec I will probably just go with that as the boy racer will come out in me. What I was looking for was a F6 R spec with under 10km in mannual and in Bionic but cant seem to find one at a good price...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can,t stand how fpv bring out there so called best. put a fairmont boot, still no brembo,s on the back. and some tacy lamo wood grain. oh and leather seats. that's about the only half way decent thing. if you like leather. they just mock everthing up with combo,s from other ford range. ford needs to wake up. atleast put a full brembo package on its fpv range. make the 6piston on the front a option. and have standard 4piston on all corners. ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octavian Member 4 Member For: 19y 11m 24d Posted 08/05/08 12:18 AM Share Posted 08/05/08 12:18 AM Hi allI own a Force 6 and I am very happy with it. Personally I like the steath/sleeper look and it still turns enough heads. Plus that is a good price for the equipment that these cars come with.Just my thoughts, you will enjoy either car.Kai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
