they've had an octane 08 bf typhoon at gosford for ages, could probably get that dirt cheap if you have the cash too. Unfortunately my budget doesnt go that far.

I was down at Grawills on Saturday with a mate who is also looking to buy a used XR6T soon.

They had a white 03 4AT with 80k kilometres on it on the lot for $22k. Tim and I both decided the ZF auto 'box was what we were both looking for in our new cars, so we left as they didn't have anything else interesting for us. When I got home I noticed the exact same car I'd just been shown going at "a dramatically reduced $22k" was in a dealer ad in the Express Advocate for $19k. Riiiiiiight. It was like another dealer on the Coast charging $27k for a 160,000km-old '03 BA XR6T with 2 months rego left on it. Central Coast dealers do some interesting things with vehicle pricing. No wonder they're all complaining about a major down-turn in used vehicle buyers

PS: Gregor = chris isn't it? From Scotshua with the turbo N16? :)

Ah ha.

Niet. I had/have the grey boonga. It ended up with Mousie's 650cc injectors, PE1820 turbo and STi motor after I blew the other STi motor I spent all that time putting in. Mouse is selling his car and so is Tim with the white RS wagon. Tim and I are the ones hunting ZF-equipped BFs.

I'll take a neat BF1 over a rough/high-km BF2 even though I want the tougher Typhoon-spec motor. The 3 of us should meet up 'cause I found a wholesaler in QLD who reckoned that 2 guys paying cash for a pair of XR6Ts was as close to heaven as he'd get and he mentioned some VERY good prices over the phone! Imagine the buying power of 3 + cash...

The sales manager pretty much told me to f**k off when I asked him to beat the $50k quote.

I hope you walked out without buying it.

Any updates on other current FG XR6T deals being offered?

Here is mine:

After a bit of haggling (aided by a quote for the local GM dealer for a 09 SS manual for $42990 DRIVE AWAY!) my local Ford dealer has come up with $44,000 drive away for an '08 build FG XR6T Manual with tow bar, and leather pack. I was gunna sell the 04 BA-T-man and look for a low Kays BF but at that price I am sorely tempted to go brand new! Whats a 2% price rise if they are offering $7000+ grand off list? :unsure:

that's mental!

You have about $2000 worth of extras ontop of my quote of $50k, and its $6000 cheaper!!!

Came very close to buying aswell.. think I'll have to visit my dealer again.

So much for the March price increase.

Hi Guys,

Im in the process of looking at FG Turbo's and have found a 11/08 Build XR6T ZF in Sensation as a Dealer Demo (has about 800k's on it) for Just over 42K Driveaway. that's with 19's and I think a Tech Pack. Regoed until Jan 2010. Reckon that's about right?

Cheers

Daz
