Hey guys want some advice on 2 choices I'm looking at.

2006 BF MKII sedan manual, 80,000kms (colour screen but not climate control and aftermarket 18's) asking $21,500

or 2007 BF MKII sedan manual, 115,000kms (climate control, partial leather) asking $19,500

I didn't wanna go to many kms but whats peoples experience with these kind of kms. Like would the savings justify any maintenance I may have to fork out? I realise discs/pads and suspension is probably a bit overdue for a change, but within the first 12 months I'll be upgrading all that anyway.

Cheers

Bump guys! Need some advice on this, hopefully getting the turbo in the coming weeks

My advise try to keep it under 80,000kms.

Mate, just test drive both cars. Some owners worship their cars till 200,000klm. Some owners flog it out by 50,000klm. You will only know after you have tried it. And if your still unsure, invest in an RACV test or similar to put your mind at ease. Can be the best $150 you spend.

Just remember we are only being offered a bit over twenty thou as a trade on our FG's right now. Like 22 to 24K.

Unfortunately everyone knows the potential of the T6 now.

Ok I may of found my new car I think I have givenn up on the ute idea as I will be waiting some time.

so I have found a bf mk2 sedan 6 speed manual 07 model with 68tho 1 owner.

the thing is it is white with blue decals and has the 2 that come onto the bonnet along with the ones around the sides. did bfs come out with theses??

also when are the major services due? and its from a dealership so im guessing its in pretty good conditon.

also I think the price is pretty right for a manual and 68tho at 23k.

what should I look for that may be wrong with this? it is stock no work wat so ever.

thanks guys

Sounds like someone has put the decals on. Not an ex Police car???

$23000 is a bit high mate ?

Have you tried to buy one privately for 15-18 ??

[Wenier]

servicing according to ford is every 15000km
