knaps New Member 11 Member For: 14y 2m Gender: Male Posted 05/01/11 08:47 AM Share Posted 05/01/11 08:47 AM Hi guys,I'm getting a little bit frustrated, I'm on a hunt for ba xr6t and I can't find anything decent here in Melbourne!All the cars I checked were from dealers and all of them were just dodgy.One was complete misunderstanding, GT bonnet, GT wing, blue, looked very nice... BUT! The engine was completely worn out, my AU falcon was flying better than that one... and it's not even a turbo!The other one had completely ruined interior, like holes in the leather, scratches on the dashboard, seemed very bad as for the car with 77k mileage - didn't even want to take it for a test drive.Of course all of those dealers are chasing me back with awesome deals, saying that they will fix everything etc. etc., but I'm just looking for a nice car in a good condition with leather, preferably premium sound, of course turbo and with decent mileage.Are all cars from dealers like this? Is it common for cars from yards to have backed up kilometers (I.e. they did more km's than the clock says)? How did you find your xr6t? Did it take long? What mileage would you consider as good (I know Ford engines can handle a lot, I've heard like up to 400k, but not sure how about turbo ones)?I guess I just gotta be very patient and take my time.Oh, btw. my budget is about 17,500 - 18,000.Thanks,Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are buying from a yard go to a large dealer the cars they have are usually trades that they keep because they are good. Got mine checked out yesterday from a sponsor and very happy with the report, mechanically near perfect. A few tiny thing that they will fix under the 3 month warranty.

Spent a bit over my budget but got an immac 07 bf2 xr6t.It pays to wait as much as it kills wanting to get into one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm basically limiting my searching to carsales and there are not many new things coming up recently (not turbos at least) :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have had a flogging (most have) but had a fresh-ish engine and was making 360rwkw - built for 400rwkw. It was around the money you're talking about. It was orange I think. I'm sure Mick at Pit Lane would know the car. Good luck - don't rush it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
