Huz88 Member 13 Member For: 12y 10m 5d Posted 12/03/12 10:07 AM Share Posted 12/03/12 10:07 AM Hi guys first post on here just after some oppinions.. Currently own a pretty tidy modified Vlt that I have had for a while now and finally got it somewhere near where I want it (for now). I am at the point now where I am looking for a ute for a daily driver.. I am 24 and just about to finish my electrical apprenticeship.I have my eye on a 2007 BF,6t ute zf, owned by an older guy 70000kms. $17000. I like the bf because of the good gearbox, easy power potential and still retaining reliability to a point. Also the comfort..Wanting a ute so I can throw the bike and other crap in the back and something that will be able to tow the vl to the strip every now and then.. Whatever I have no plans on selling the vlt..I will need to finance about 12k for the BF which I plan on paying off as quick as I can (Never had a loan before so this is what worries me the most even though I can meet the repayments)Anyway just after oppinions on going the BF 6t, or going for something older-cheaper?..CheersIan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the BF mk1 with the weaker rods.I should ask.. do you plan to modify the ford at all or leave it stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only things I really would like to do is the usual injectors, tune kind of thing for around the 400hp mark. But I would like to keep it standard for a while..

That's what I did on mine to get 425rwhp.Pic of VL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finance will give you a credit rating for you when you want to buy a house down the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huz88 Member 13 Member For: 12y 10m 5d Posted 12/03/12 09:06 PM Author Share Posted 12/03/12 09:06 PM Cheers for the replies guys. That is true about the credit rating also. Probably best to do this while I'm young and still just paying board at home. Will let you guys know when/if I pick it up..Quick pic of the Vl..

Huz88 Member 13 Member For: 12y 10m 5d Posted 14/03/12 09:27 AM Author Share Posted 14/03/12 09:27 AM Only other cars I'm looking at are. the 2005-2008 2wd sr V6 hilux's. Things that I do like about them, 3seats, bit more ground clearence, probably abit more practicle and not really any mod bugs to bite. Prices seem to be 13-$16000. 100000+km'sall the mod cons like power windows, ac etc. But obviously no where near as comfy or sporty as the xr..The only time the 3 seats are handy is when doing downhill mtb, 2 people can ride one can drive..Xr6t, Very comfy, Power, but also low, very easy to get more power (Not sure if that's a good thing for whats suppose to be an everyday car) + I guess I have the vl for a *fun* car:S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
