BRK Member 361 Member For: 13y 6m 11d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 03/04/12 01:46 AM Share Posted 03/04/12 01:46 AM Buy it - turbo dohc 6 and a german trans versus a (not bad) pushrod V8 and an ordinary GM automatic. If you look for the right one, both locals have fair build quality ( but not great). If you want convincing further, go drive a 2002 - 2005 model 530 BMW - they are getting down bux wise these days. You'll love the build and ride quality and smooth-as 6 in those cars but the auto doesn't shift any better than the ford on a day to day basis and the I-drive is fiddly to use. We won't mention repair costs when they happen and no room in the back. 19 versus 18's in wheels - stuff all difference really. If you want oh-so-smooth and oh-so-quiet you buy a big honda accord. They are really great and come with a free scone, weak tea, a hat and a life time subscription to "bowls monthly."By the turbo, get some 19's on it, two black t shirts and new levi's and enjoy a bloody great driving car. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/79537-old-fart-who-drives-like-a-granny-wants-a-g6et/page/3/#findComment-1217868 Share on other sites More sharing options...
djambalawa Member 5 Member For: 13y 2m 23d Posted 03/04/12 01:57 AM Author Share Posted 03/04/12 01:57 AM lol - love the advice BRK I've made an offer on a 2008 G6ET with 100k on the clock - $24k. Its been accepted but subject to inspection (I live in Darwin so am getting one of those vehicle inspection businesses to take a look and do a report). Its only silver but the silver seems like a nice bright silver.. and its only got 18" rims... she'll be right!There's some lovely cars for $10k more (like the one Dillz posted) but I really didn't want to spend that much...Probably not a good comparison but I actually had the 6sp ZF in my Discovery 3 and I loved it (although it did develop a bump going into 2nd).So yeah hopefully the inspection doesn't turn up any nasties - not too concerned with normal wear and tear as long as its been looked after. Never owned anything like this - but I've driven my friends GS a bit and it always puts a smile on my face - apart from the hard suspension (his wife hit a pothole and he had to replace the two rims on that side!) and road noise.Hmmm gotta get some levis now...
