xrmte New Member 4 Member For: 15y 10m 25d Posted 28/04/11 09:26 PM Share Posted 28/04/11 09:26 PM At the moment im stil driving el xr6 which have owned for about 8 years now its been a good car have had a few issues along way but has still served me well and has gotten me from a to b lol and at some stage soon down the track I might upgrade been looking at the ba's 03 and 04 autoand my price range would be between $10000 and $14000 im not sure if I should have a look for ba xr6 na or a turboI mightnt be able to get any fairly decent turbo for that price range but even an 03 or maybe an 04 ba xr6 (non turbo) would be good car and still a nice step up from my old el.things to note im not going to do any major mods and not driving long km everyday just driving local in my (country town) and maybe trips to the city maybe couple times a week which is about 30km away.should I just look for decent na xr6 which would still be a nice car even coming from a el or should go turbo?any advice is welcome thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted 29/04/11 12:08 AM Share Posted 29/04/11 12:08 AM For 14 grand man you could get a 05 with low kays. My mate is selling a 04 with 60 thousand kays for 15k but its a xr6 turbo. Its just a matter of being patient mate. I hved a ba xt ( witch im selling ) and waited 6 months to find the perfect xr6 turbo for me.14k will get you a really nice car. Don't just jump at the first thing you see as there are HEAPS of ba xr6 none turbos for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from an EL an na BA is fantastic but the tirbo is better still....cost is only a bit more but the performance can be worth it. As trade in BAII's are now from $6k to $12k (depending on what's it's being traded for)so someone private will want to sell rather than trade it in........

LazyBrennan Donating Members 683 Member For: 13y 9m 21d Gender: Male Location: Baldivis, Wait Ages. Posted 29/04/11 11:58 AM Share Posted 29/04/11 11:58 AM That link is not worth 14k. Like I said. My mate is selling a 04 xr6 turbo for 15k with 60 thousand kays. The annoying and hard thing is being patient mate. I can say from experience that waiting is the best thing. Once you find one with 60 thousand kays or lower for a good price and is in good nick, Just jump on it. It doesn't hurt to pay someone 100 bucks to go over the whole car for you as well. I had a EL before my ba xt and that was a massive jump for me. Going from the xt to the turbo was even massive again.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
