boost69 Donating Members 737 Member For: 19y 5m 30d Posted 11/09/08 01:23 AM Share Posted 11/09/08 01:23 AM Yeah I have an EX Chaser BF Mark II like the one you test drove with similar KMS...and the diff clunk is most likely the diff bush as I had the same thing and that was replaced under warranty.The Premium brakes are noticeably grippier than your standard XR6T brakes but appart from little things like reverse sensors and the interior light not going on when you open the door the car is pretty much standard.Though I know what you mean for a standard car they just seem like they are a bit gutsier than your every day run of the mill XR6T...Im the last person to encourage the myth of Chasers being modded etc...but for some reason they do seem more wiling to co operate when you put the foor down.Like I said BF Mark II Chasers with around 60KM are fetching anywhere from around 15-19K at Fowles Auctions in Sydney depending on condition.

Find a good one and you are laughing....history of any car is important. Just hope the 55 year old guy I got mine from wasn't Craig L's old man!
