BTK_007 Member 25 Member For: 15y 10m 13d Gender: Male Posted 13/02/09 06:11 AM Share Posted 13/02/09 06:11 AM Hey pplz,Im new to this site as I am currently thinking of buying an xr6t.The model in question is an 03 BA with the 5 speed manual. Looking at what people have said about the 5 speed makes me not wanna go next to it however the price is $12500. It is pretty standard except for 20inch chromes and mite have a custom intercooler all I know at the moment is that its not the standard black one its chrome, looks the same size though. Low kms too, I think around the 80 mark. Initially I wanted to do some mods to it, just a computer and exhaust but reading the stuff here bout the t5 I dunno.... Advice please?

Do you have 20K to spend? You should have the vehicle inspected before you do anything to make sure its all good - $12,500 is very cheap.If you have 20K and the car is legit, but it and put a T56 6spd manual in it, cheap car either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guests Posted 13/02/09 06:28 AM Share Posted 13/02/09 06:28 AM (edited) If $12500 is your max budget steer clear. It is likely that the T5 will sh*t itself & the repair bill isn't pretty... Been there, done that Edited 13/02/09 06:28 AM by 03XR6T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had my time again - 6 speed ZF auto all the way Even stock cars will kill the 5spd... Seriously - save and get a better one - these cars can cost a FORTUNE to fix. May as well buy the right one first time and save yourself a lot of pain...all the best,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save up and buy a T56 cbf paying more in stamp duty buyin bf anyone wanna give me a T56 haha 2K??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
