Even though its only done 54K, plenty of BF's around that and and newer cars are far less hassle. Also when it comes time to move on, you wont be selling a 10 y/o thrashed and modded car. You'll only be selling one that's 6 or 7 years old . Makes a HUGE difference to resale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do plan on modding it a little myself I just wanna make sure its all done right...I'm actually doing a trade and cash adjustment for the car...I don't really have the money to save up for a BF as much as I would like to and I also dont intend on keeping the car for more than 3 years anyway. I won't say what the deal is but it will owe me $16,700??? What do you reckon? I should come close to getting my money back if I were to sell it in say 2 years??? The car is in very good condition and the guy seems honest enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is in very good condition and the guy seems honest enough.2 years ago I was looking at ba xr6t's I they were around 26k then now you can get them for 18-20k, so id say u will get a fair bit less than 16.700 in 2 years that's cars for you especially falcons and commodores they dont hold there value well at all Edited 11/02/09 08:16 AM by jasol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A wise man once said to me, once the car hits 8 years old, sell it. I didnt listen with my last car and as a result it took me 9 months to sell and I lost a lot of $$$.That said I bought brand new (which I dont believe in due to the money u loose straight away) but I saved 14K off the rrp, so I made the exception. I actually worked it out and it worked out cheaper to own a newer car in my circumstancesEither way, im sure something everyone will agree with is to make sure you do a revs check (money oweing on it check) and get a reputable workshop to do a decent inspection. They will tell you everything you need to know for a few $$. When I sold my car, the inspection cost the bloke $120 and he went over everything with a fine tooth comb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
