I did, f6 is a show pony, if you got the cash all is well and good but I mean like they said, your paying for cosmetics. Sure the f6 has a few better things but if your going to throw cash at it down the track those things wont matter. Buy a xr6t buy and house and live the good life.

ridingtom Member 75 Member For: 16y 3m 26d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 25/07/10 01:05 PM Author Share Posted 25/07/10 01:05 PM thanks for all the comments, I'm still set on a F6! I love them! As for a house that will be in afew years once I save some more then sell my car to throw money towards one. Just car insurance are going to cover me even though I am still on my green P's so I'm looking at buying one anytime soon. Insurance is the same amount for a 07 BF F6, any XR6T, FG F6, WRX and STI. so theres no trade offs there.I'm going to look at this F6 tomorrow hopefully, mainly done highway K's but is there anything else out there that I should be looking at that guru's might know?http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int321pCar_PriceSort_Decimal1pCar_Make_String0pCar_Model_String0&YearFromShort=1650&__Qpb=true&Cr=11&R=9012204&MileageTo=749&keywords&__N=1216+1247+1282+1252+4294965879+1622+749+1650+245&silo=1011&seot=1&__Nne=15&trecs=37&__sid=129EA27630BA Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68910-f6-or-xr6t/page/2/#findComment-1027656 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 25/07/10 09:06 PM Share Posted 25/07/10 09:06 PM Just make sure "Just Car" will actually pay up should anything happen. Most companies will take your money for insurance but then dent the claim if it arises. Its the same for speeding fines and the like. Most companies wont ask you about them when you take out a policy (some do) but come claim time its a reason they can knock you back.Just make sure you can drive the thing first legally and without any hassles hanging over you. Or just wait till xmas when your on your opens and go the F6 with the extra coin that would have been saved. If I had the extra money and wasn't so impatient to get an FG, I would have waited and gone an F6.
