Hectic Dude Member 53 Member For: 17y 1m 16d Posted 16/01/09 07:28 AM Share Posted 16/01/09 07:28 AM Is anyone seeing reduced prices on the F6? I am tossing up between it and the GTS... it will be a matter of best value at the time I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am tossing up between it and the GTS... it will be a matter of best value at the time I guess.I too am eagerly watching the current market pricing. I've seen quite a few demos advertised starting from $56k drive away (with a few thousand km's on them). The problem with the advertising is the dealers are not permitted to advertise a car for less than the RRP or they risk losing their licence. It's got something to do with maintaining the perceived value of the car or something to that effect. So it's hard to know how much they are prepared to sell them for. I do know that regardless of what they say, a lot of dealers are doing it very tough. It's just a matter of finding the right one in a weak moment. lolAs for choosing between the two, take both for a drive and you'll soon see why everyone is raving about the new F6 310. The GTS is a nice car but I wouldn't like to have to drive it a long distance as it's very firmly sprung. However if you're only going to drive it short distances on the weekend or on a race track it could be the better buy. The F6 310 is a much more rounded package if you have to spend a lot of time in the car. I know which I would rather choose.Big AL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hectic Dude Member 53 Member For: 17y 1m 16d Posted 16/01/09 09:20 PM Share Posted 16/01/09 09:20 PM Thanks Al,I'm an F6 fan as I have one now and if the ford dealers want to talk turkey it would be my choice. The dealers are playing tough at present and I think it will be their downfall eventually. Cars aren't selling and I know whoever picks up my F6 will get a bargain, it is so much car for the money. I'm not in a rush and like you looking for a desperate dealer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hectic Dude Member 53 Member For: 17y 1m 16d Posted 17/01/09 12:50 AM Share Posted 17/01/09 12:50 AM Good call Zap, floor stock is key and with both Ford and Expensive Daewoo plants closed all stock is on order. So come March we should start seeing some movement... lucky for me I guess as I get my license back in March haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
