I went to Ford with the engine and vin number and they looked it up and said that it had the engine upgrades.90000 is alot of k's, but if it drives OK, then I say go for it especially if there is a limited choice of them.

Did you just take them into your local dealer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person doing the condition report took it easy though.....there is the kink in the door which isnt mentioned, there are dents in the roof and a massive scrape under the front spoiler. I dont understand why they would not go into detail and most of the things that I have mentioned would be unfair wear and tear???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshy Member 15 Member For: 17y 11m 18d Posted 18/09/08 08:16 AM Share Posted 18/09/08 08:16 AM I spose that's why its always best to check the car out for yourself. You should never buy a car sight unseen, worse thing you could do!There was a 08/04 BA MKI XR6 NA with Luxury Interior Pack, Towbar, Roof Racks finished in Black with 112,000km on it up the other day in Belmore, NSW on Pickles. They had it on a fixed price os $12,400. I thought that was a pretty good buy, the pictures looked ok, just a couple scrapes... but for $12.4K for a car like that, who'd really care!? Was sold within 24 hours. Who knows though what coulda been wrong/right unless you check it out or have someone check the car out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car only had a couple of tone chips on the bonnet and other than that perfect.........Going out tomorrow to do a final inspection on the black T and take the vin and engine numbers down so ford can confirm for me that it has got the typhoon internals.....

Too low for car park bolsters etc....so I wouldnt sweat about that.Kink in the door? Depends what you mean, many late model Falcs have 'lines' going down the door panels near the door handles, dont know why but they are there. Free factory accessory, my EL had them, my BA has them.
