XR6TWA Member 4 Member For: 15y 9m 19d Gender: Male Posted 11/02/10 10:30 AM Share Posted 11/02/10 10:30 AM (edited) HeyI am 17 and have only just got my license, the coming months to this I was in search of a car preferably a manual XR6/T. However after an extreme amount of searching for manual's I oppted to give for the ZF box, this narrowed it down to the BF/BF MK II or the FG's, I wasnt too keen on the FG's as it seemed way too pricey. I had really wanted the XR6T but being an inexperienced driver and the insurance costs I was pretty hesitant to get one, even though my mind was telling me too. In the end after alot of searching I found a 08 FG XR6 6 speed and a BF MKII XR6T, both were about the same price and similar k's, however with the fact of me only just getting my license and insuranc I went for the FG, it is an extremely nice car, the main reason was becasue I thought id get a good 2 years getting my experience up and then later buying a T, also the FG would have better resale value then if I were to purchase a BF, I couldnt be any happier with this car however I woulndt mind to hear your oppinions on the car I purchashed. I also snapped it up under the average market value which I was pretty pleased aboutcheers Edited 11/02/10 10:32 AM by XR6TWA Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66078-first-car-thoughts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still have my NA 2005 BA XLS ute if it didn't go underwater. Would you mind telling how much you paid for it?

What colour did you end up getting? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/66078-first-car-thoughts/#findComment-980837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
