xr6tufo Member 9 Member For: 13y 9m 8d Posted 22/08/11 02:02 AM Share Posted 22/08/11 02:02 AM (edited) Get it inspected... check the service history, test drive it for as long as posible, check for signs of wear interior etc.. and get as low kms as posible. ba's and even later models are known for common issues with diff noises, knocks, bushes, brake shuddering, blowing autos due to cooler failures.. lol to name a few Edited 22/08/11 02:10 AM by xr6tufo Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/76578-ba-mk2/#findComment-1135176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
