mitch179 Member 30 Member For: 17y 3m Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 Ok, so the guy selling it sent me some up to date pics:Pictures by roblin_87 - PhotobucketGot a couple of dings in that front wheel :XJudging off the pics .. what would you offer the guy? or would you not even bother? I'm obviously going to check it out or get it checked out but just trying to get an idea.I'm still on carsales every freakin day trying to find a ute that fits the bill and it's not easy. Are there any other avenues I should be searching?

Maximus Member 1,627 Member For: 18y 1m Gender: Male Location: Slip Sliding Away Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Looks like that front wheel has taken a pounding and he hasn't really looked after it the way Mark did.In saying that all it needs is a good wash/polish and that wheel fixed and she's all good.No way it is worth what he is asking but I think if you could get it for $21500 and get it polished thru Final Inspection ($350) and a new rim you'll be laughing.

mitch179 Member 30 Member For: 17y 3m Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 Thanks a bunch for all the advice guys. Motorbikes are more my forte (I need the ute to cart them around)...I'll throw this guy an offer and see how I go, failing that, the search continues!to think I almost bought a 6lt SS :X Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/64963-looking-at-buying-this/page/2/#findComment-970860 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch179 Member 30 Member For: 17y 3m Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Told me I was dreaming and said he wouldnt take any less than $25,500... and the general consensus around here (and redbook) says that's a bit too much, damn.

Craig. Member 563 Member For: 18y 22d Gender: Male Location: Sunshine Coast QLD Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) I think we know which one of you guys is dreaming and it's not you!Don't get too attached mate. Part of the trick to haggling is that you have to be prepared to call his bluff walk away. There are plenty of cars for sale and there always will be. If there isn't anything else around that suits you at the moment, just wait a couple of weeks! How many buyers does he have lined up? None at that price point! If he is actually serious about selling it, he may well be in touch in a few weeks.

mitch179 Member 30 Member For: 17y 3m Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 I think he wants big money for it because its modded, but mods just dint your back pocket they don't up the resale from my experiences!I'm back to looking for another one, I'll probably end up stepping for a stocker and just pile up the parts over time to give it a bit more stick!

Maximus Member 1,627 Member For: 18y 1m Gender: Male Location: Slip Sliding Away Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Mitch this guy has been TRYING to sell if for about 6 weeks now.For $25K you would want it EXACTLY the way it was when it was sold to him. Immaculate and well looked after.Seeing it now filthy dirty makes me wonder why do I try and keep my car looking nice when once I sell it the person might not care and treat it like crap.He must be in money trouble as he was trying to sell his bike at the same time.He bought it modded so he doesn't need to try and recoup any money back on it.Give him a call in another month when it will still be for sale and offer him the same again or leave your number and tell him your offer is there if he wants to sell it.He might just take it as no-one in their right mind will be paying $26K for it.
