Don't buy one just cause it's an R-Spec.Oh and Steve I'm pretty sure the Cobras were R-Spec as well weren't they? Oh and they held there value well Edited 08/07/10 05:57 AM by Dillz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie_dozer Blown Happiness Donating Members 130 Member For: 15y 6m 24d Gender: Male Location: Queanbeyan NSW Posted 08/07/10 06:59 AM Share Posted 08/07/10 06:59 AM So the FG F6 replaces the R-Spec in a way does it? Or does it only replace the BF II F6 Typhoon and not the Typhoon R-Spec.Why would the value hold better though? Cars depreciate the most in their first 2 years on the market. I would though, as an investment, the rarer the model, the less the depreciation.The FG F6 is just this years model. With upgraded bits and bobs, but a very nice bit of gear never the less. (if you can afford it). It will depreciate just like all other cars. The R-Spec is the F6 Typhoon, they just added a few extra bits and pieces, and they only made 300 of them, this is what makes them a little rarer and thus they hold value a little better.Everything comes down to budget. Best of luck with the decision. You will love either one you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Member 299 Member For: 21y 5m 16d Gender: Male Posted 08/07/10 07:12 AM Share Posted 08/07/10 07:12 AM I think after driving both, the suspension in the R-Spec was insanely overrated. Better than FPV F6 suspension, marginally yes.Either car, I'd swap over to something better all round for a lot less money that would last longer, too!As said above.. if you come across the "right car" and it happens to be an R-Spec, not probs... but in no way is it the only option worth considering to discount normal F6s or FGs... knew when Ford called it an R-Spec people would get the wrong idea from what this model actually signifies. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmy1234 Donating Members 364 Member For: 16y 10m 14d Gender: Male Posted 08/07/10 07:39 AM Share Posted 08/07/10 07:39 AM Rspec has, mats, a badge, optional trim as standard and slightly improved suspension. You will find most Rspec's were sold at a very reasonable price as they were the end of the BF's....Personaly I would look at all BF11 F6's and pick the one that offered the best deal..km's vs $$$. If that turns out to be an Rspec then so be it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
