Iconic Bionic My engine bay is Bionic Donating Members 3,726 Member For: 18y 6m 5d Gender: Male Location: Freeways Posted 12/05/09 06:14 PM Share Posted 12/05/09 06:14 PM I got an XR6 turbo in manual Ego with Tech pack, tint and XR matts for $42500 Driveaway.Nice deal to get but most of us would be forced to trade and its the trade in prices where we all lose out. I shudder to think what they would offer for mine so I stopped thinking about it.I.B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkaboo Member 38 Member For: 18y 11m 1d Posted 12/05/09 09:08 PM Share Posted 12/05/09 09:08 PM Yeah, I was pretty happy with it... I traded in my 03 STi with 80,xxx km's and got what I thought was a very fair price ($27k). I guess that the STi may hold it's value a little better than most Fords though?!?!? What are the F6's resale like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was offered $24-34k for my BA F6 as a trade on a secondhand FG T / G6ET.. all similar cars for the same cash, just the trade value varied... best non-trade offer from a dealer was $32k as they had SFA stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think anything with a ford or Expensive Daewoo badge wont really retain value unless its something limited or special Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mish Member 84 Member For: 15y 4m 13d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 13/05/09 02:42 AM Share Posted 13/05/09 02:42 AM Low $20's isn't bad I suppose. Nothing like the AU! Hopefully the FG should hold it's value a lil' better then the BA/BF though. A few of the publications are actually saying that the turbo will become a collectable. Is that possible? Or would one have to keep it under lock and key and never drive it and then bring it out 30 years down the track when we're all in flying cars?

ronburgundy I love gooold member Donating Members 1,222 Member For: 15y 8m 22d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne (west) Posted 13/05/09 02:47 AM Share Posted 13/05/09 02:47 AM 'Speculation' is that within 10-15 years the large, front-engine/rear-wheel-drive car will be a thing of the past.If yours is a daily driver I can't imagine it'll be worth a fortune, but it could hold its value slightly better than any other 10-15 year-old car. Or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkayne Member 203 Member For: 15y 8m 22d Gender: Male Posted 13/05/09 08:13 AM Share Posted 13/05/09 08:13 AM But like most cars, even the commodores, as soon as a "new" version comes out, like the FG did to the BF, the price of the previous model will drop, no matter what. So the FG will keep quite a high value for years to come, until newer versions come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mish Member 84 Member For: 15y 4m 13d Gender: Male Location: Canberra Posted 13/05/09 11:00 PM Share Posted 13/05/09 11:00 PM Is that that case even when this is the last version of the inline 6? And it'll be changing to a 3.X litre V6? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
