oldskool Member 144 Member For: 19y 2m 21d Posted 23/06/09 12:45 PM Share Posted 23/06/09 12:45 PM (edited) as the heading says, looking into buying an xr6 turbo interstate (im in vic looking at a SA car).are there any traps I can need to worry about, inc a plan to trade my old car to the dealer interstate? will a dealer be interested in an interstate traded car?I know I will have to get my own reoard worthy and rego, but I should be able to get the car cheaper than advertisted, the seller would not have to worry about offering a RWC and the usual used car waranty.Its a pity there is no national vehicle status checks register to check to see if the car has been stolen owes $$ etc, most states seem to have their own version.

I just got mine recently from Brisbane, and drove it back to Sydney - just beating that bad rainy period where northern NSW got isolated.how much was this car? 33000kms is pretty low.

oldskool Member 144 Member For: 19y 2m 21d Posted 24/06/09 07:55 AM Author Share Posted 24/06/09 07:55 AM (edited) paid a bit under 25k with a trade in for my 89 laser, was pretty happy with the trade in.Prob a bit high but I have been searchign for months for a car with low kms in auto with premium sound. still has the ford waranty til december so Ill have plenty of time to iron out the kinks.wont be sold with a road worthy, if I get a roadworthy done and items need fixing, depending on the item (I know wear and tear tiems like etc etc are not covered) would it be covered by the ford waranty. not looking forward to running the ford dealer waranty service, just have to find the right dealer just got the call about the 1295 dollar paint protection...

roadster Member 97 Member For: 16y 3m 4d Gender: Male Location: Werribee Posted 24/06/09 09:02 AM Share Posted 24/06/09 09:02 AM Hey oldschool,I live in werribee and work in geelong, I take my car to rex gorrell ford in geelong and I personaly think there customer service is second to none. took my car in cause the gear shift boot had the tiniest of cracks in the leather (manual) so they replaced it even replaced the aluminium shifter nob as well as they said there was slight discoloration in the other old one, fixed other stuff I was not even aware of. and to top it off a 30k service at ultra tune was $380 and rex gorrell did it for $320 work that one out !!!.Good luck Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/58867-looking-at-an-interstate-xr6/#findComment-895789 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregor Member 459 Member For: 16y 8m 14d Posted 24/06/09 09:07 AM Share Posted 24/06/09 09:07 AM price seems decent, theres cheaper ones but most are ex chasers or modded (no warranty), have higher km or are a bit rough. When I was looking a few months back good ones were still going quickly even advertised around 28k.
