mitch179 Member 30 Member For: 17y 3m 3d Posted 09/01/10 07:02 AM Share Posted 09/01/10 07:02 AM Just after a bit of advice, I'm looking to buy an XR6T ute and I have found one that I'm quite fond of, but the only thing concerning me would be if it's going to go 'bang' a short time after I purchase it.Might look familiar as I saw it for sale on here mid last year I guess it would have been:2005 Ford Falcon BA Mk2 XR6 Turbo Ute 329RWKW! - eBay, Passenger Vehicles, Cars, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 12-Jan-10 13:03:11 AEDST)Is that power level ok for a ba mk2? Would I be better finding a BF ute and doing the mods myself? I'm kind of in two minds about it, I really do like this one and it already has all the mods that I would do.Any opinions / advice would be appreciated Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64963-looking-at-buying-this/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are risks just trying to minimise them as much as possible Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64963-looking-at-buying-this/#findComment-969421 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitch179 Member 30 Member For: 17y 3m 3d Posted 09/01/10 10:47 PM Author Share Posted 09/01/10 10:47 PM sounding pretty good so far. I know it might be a bit of a gamble buying already modified but as a result, if all goes well, I stand to save a lot of time and money by going down this route.Also is there anything you should particularly look out for on the utes?any more feedback would be good also!

Looks a nice ute and the main problems with them (brakes, gearbox, v/springs) have been addressed. All the best with it Mitch.
