marcpec Member 7 Member For: 14y 4m 6d Posted 03/10/10 04:10 AM Author Share Posted 03/10/10 04:10 AM Stuck in boring old Perth, has to be a ute due to mass of tools/foilage coming from landscape gardening. Damn I'd love an FPV at that price wow! Max id want to spend is $23,000; looking at - BF MKII UteTell me what you all think, I like the fact it has low km's with the stronger autobox. What should I be offering them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winstor Member 611 Member For: 15y 11m 10d Posted 03/10/10 05:17 AM Share Posted 03/10/10 05:17 AM (edited) This one is a manual and in WA2006 BF2 - $24500This one is in NSW and has the ZF 6 speed, and IMO would be a better buy than the 2006 BF2 in WA. Would probably work out the same too after transport.2005 BF FPV Tornado - $22900 Edited 03/10/10 05:19 AM by winstor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcpec Member 7 Member For: 14y 4m 6d Posted 03/10/10 06:50 AM Author Share Posted 03/10/10 06:50 AM (edited) Well I went and had a really good look at the BF2 that I linked... holy sh*t its had a hard life.Exterior -1) Headlights plastic film was completely peeling back2) Drivers side side-skirt had 2 metal clips holding it on, was missing numerous of the plastic screws and wobbled to no end3) Mesh grill on front bumper fell out when I lightly prodded it4) Front grill above the bottom bumper wasn't aligned at all, felt a little loseSpent about 15mins under the car to see as much as possible (note I used to do car detailing for this particular ford dealership many years ago)1) Terrible mass black spray paint job on all wheel arches, the snapper head who did it didnt even wipe off excess paint with thinners2) 4 year old exhaust had major surface rust - I looked underneath a same year sedan and it was still visible it was mild steel3) Power steering rack attempted to be cleaned up - leaking4) Scratches gallore5) Warped rear discsCan't be assed with the rest lets just say my god its had a really hard life considering the kilometers - not to mention there is an extra 1000km's the dealership has put on it since advertised odo. What should I be offering the guy with the 'bananza"? What does that even mean other then the weird ass badge lol. Would love more then anything to get the FPV but dont want the whole hassle of bringing a car back from east, brought my evo over for around ~$1000 from Melb to Perth not to mention I cant go over it with a fine-tooth comb.Also if the 'banaza' is in good condition and im happy with it - whats involved with a major service on these engines as its really close to 100,xxx? How much $$ should I have put away? Edited 03/10/10 07:00 AM by marcpec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winstor Member 611 Member For: 15y 11m 10d Posted 03/10/10 06:59 AM Share Posted 03/10/10 06:59 AM (edited) Checked out Lynford once while I took my mothers Proton in for a service, and was pretty amazed at the (IMO) excessive prices on the cars they had. Think they had a BA MK2 Typhoon for close to $40k a couple months back and some sh*thouse Yellow Turbo with a shaker bonnet and twin love heart exhaust tips....That's why you pay RAC or some other motoring body in NSW to do it for you. That and what it would cost to get it over here would still make it around the WA ute.My 60k service on my BF2 Turbo Sedan and 75k service on my FG Turbo Sedan were both around $340.

marcpec Member 7 Member For: 14y 4m 6d Posted 03/10/10 07:12 AM Author Share Posted 03/10/10 07:12 AM Hmmm good point, yeah they're not a great dealership last time I was there during work hours I was pretty much dragged to their financial guy to start the usual sales splurge...Id have heaps more faith in RAC if they had even bothered to check the totally cracked exhaust housing on my evo's turbo when I bought it... the small ass stock mitsubishi turbo wasn't seeing boost till 5,000 RPM when I bought it after the RAC inspection which said it was fine... lol. Id give my right arm to get an FPV at that price but wouldn't feel safe unless I physically go over it.I thought a 100,000 km service would be more then a 60,xxx or 75,xxx service?

winstor Member 611 Member For: 15y 11m 10d Posted 03/10/10 09:55 AM Share Posted 03/10/10 09:55 AM Ill go check my service book to see whats done at a 100k service.You could always find some of those cheap ass return tickets and fly over for the day to inspect it?Also, if the car has been checked out by a motoring body such as RAC, they give it the all clear yet something is wrong I believe you have some sort of comeback.

If you are going to put on it a cool duo grand - yeah - definitely need to do a test drive as well as a visual/aural condition inspection. I remember when I was checking out BAs to buy and glad I didn't buy based on words/pics on the Internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
