If you can test drive take it for a run and see what you think. If it drives good and your happy then buy it. Have a good look under the car as well for any sort of damageThere are some good chasers out there. I know of one that is the supervisors car that gets driven to the RBT location and then returned back to base.

jet_paul Member 56 Member For: 18y 6m 6d Posted 27/08/08 07:04 AM Share Posted 27/08/08 07:04 AM watch the pickles auctions..last week I saw an 06 blue bf 6sp auto with premium sound and 80,000k for 21,900 and it didn't sell and went to auction. So I assume you could of got it cheaper than that.My friend has an ex-coper and it is in very good nick. He paid 20k for it and seems like a good buy. The dash is in pretty good condition and where the carpet has been cut has been covered with new patches of carpet.I am looking for a bf at the moment through auctions and just waiting to find a good one.Unless I can get a BA with a heap of features for a ridiculous price.

Last week there was a black bf xr6 turbo in perth on the fowles auction.. no idea what it went for though.....sorry!!keep your eyes on the pickles and fowles site...if you hold off long enough you will surely find a good one.I have only been looking for 2 weeks and already found quite a few.I am looking at buying in a month or whenever a real good one comes up. This one:http://www.pickles.com.au/cars/vehicle/CP-...lotid-402066718looks like a great example. I would be interested to know how much it goes for.. maybe 23kIf your in the ACT this is definetly something you should be looking at if in the market for a T.

Broaders77 Member 73 Member For: 16y 9m 17d Posted 28/08/08 02:11 AM Share Posted 28/08/08 02:11 AM I bought an ex-chaser a few weeks ago - BF Auto with 45Ks. The suspension is a bit shaky (hopefully being fixed under warranty) and there's a few scrapes on the underbody but the engine and brakes are perfect. Inetrior is a bit naff but easily fixed. I paid $17,400 for it - it might cost a grand or so to get to schmick condition but still heaps cheaper than private Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/49082-all-this-talk-of-ex-chasers/#findComment-724550 Share on other sites More sharing options...
