Thought the XR6T would be a fair bit cheaper? Any reason for this, I can understand the ZF ones keeping their value but even the manuals are around same price as a BA phoon?

millzy555 Member 42 Member For: 15y 4m 5d Posted 22/01/10 11:25 PM Share Posted 22/01/10 11:25 PM That seems slightly odd..., I would happily swap my BF for a BA typhoon lol. Picked mine up for $20000 6sp, 40k, BA phoons were quite a bit more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to get one to lower my weekly costs a bit, but if it's only 5k or so cheaper it's not really worth it, I love my phoon lol. And most of the typhoons on there seem to be above what I paid for mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the 6spd auto was a bit of a factor, but I reckon Id miss a manual too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
