New Fg Xr6t Drive Away Price

[chalks1971]

So whats a fair price for a private sale? Ive got it on Drives for $28.5k with twelve months rego because the dealers prices are way above the other quotes from other dealers, obvioulsy for the reasons already mentioned.

Am I expecting too much? If so Ill just keep it, I was caught up in the lease being over & the possibility of a new car, but theres nothing wrong with this one, & Ill never go back to not having the turbo, great out here for overtaking a couple of B-doubles or caravans.

Being in outback NSW Im restricted from heading into Sydney to talk to several dealers on the one day, but amm heading to Sydney at the end of the month, & will do so then.

Thanks for this site too, its a great reference, without it I probably would have just jumped for the specked up XR6T without even considering G6ET, Im already a bowler so have the hat and bag, the cardy will come in handy though, is there an option for slippers?

Rumours abound that the next model release will include a one year supply of little blue pills.

Knew I should have waited

Chalks if you're out in the sticks it'll make a private sale that much harder you'd have to drop the price a bit I'd think. If you want a clean swapover then trade-in will be your best option, and if you can find a willing dealer then you shouldn't be too much more out of pocket (with a allot less stuffing around).

senna_t (Pat) is a rip-off-merchant salesman at Peter Warren in Warwick Farm...make him your first port of call when you venture to the big smoke. Don't tell him I sent you though

Whatever you do though, don't drive one (if you haven't already) until you're absolutely set on getting one, otherwise there'll be no turning back!

Thaks Tab.

Yeah Im out in the sticks, but am happy to travel to the buyer, as Ive said, this car is in top condition, so if someone was 1/2 keen and had the money Id be happy to head to the big smoke. I would have thought that anyone that wanted to buy would want a decent trip in it (eg fly in to Dubbo, Ill meet them at the airport, or anywhere else between here & there, give me the bank cheque, & they take the beast home).

Ill definetly drop in & see Pat, Ive got a good quote from Simon I think from Bankstown Ford,, but he cant give me a trade in fugure on mine w/o seeing it, which I understand but surley a ball-park figure could be provided on the specs. Im already in the frame of mind that Im keeping mine, & will just rollover the lease, but if I can offload it at price conducive to me & the buyer, then it will be gone.

Hopefully a dealer will need a sale or two before the end of the financial year. Hint, hint Pat PM me!

Maybe if you had something a little rare or ridiculously cheap. Otherwise, you aren't really selling anything that is that good to travel for. No incentive if you can get something just as good locally - something you can actually see. And a BF XR6T is pretty common.

Case in point - we bought a new Prado last June and I found one in Sydney (I'm in Brisbane) for $50,490 driveaway. Very cheap. It was still 2008 build but just out of date for the "$180 fixed price servicing for the first 6 services". I think it had to built April or later and this was a February build. The fixed servicing was neither here nor there for me because a mate does all my work, and the best price I got here was $53,500 driveaway. I rang the local dealer who gave the $53,500 as a courtesy and advised that unless he could make it worth my while I was putting a deposit on the one down south over the phone and flying down over the weekend to pick it up. This dealer only had cars with the fixed servicing (it was a Toyota Head Office thing, not a dealer thing). He asked what price I needed to buy off him and I told him $52,000 and it was a deal. He agreed and I bought it that afternoon. So for me, the $1,500 saved me flying to Sydney, driving back and cheaper servicing for the first three years - happy to pay it. BUT my point for you, if he hadn't have budged on the $53,500 I was flying to Sydney - that was my incentive, $3000 saving. So if you are cheaper than most around and you have a car in good nick, people will travel - if not they won't.

Sorry for the long story.

Thanks mate

The reason I found this site was because I was trying to find what a fair price for my car was. Everybodys input has been helpful. It appears that Im looking for too much (based on where I live, rather than the actual car), & if that's the case the answer to what I was seeking is that Ill be keeping it for another couple of years, unless theres a salesman needing one more sale at the end of the financial year sales, which Ill be in Sydney just in time for.

Cheers

Hate to bump this, but is there something like this still happening??

Contemplating trading for an FG XR6T..
