Lol, dodgy as Tuono. 2010 or 2011 model?

You should sell it privately. Dillz managed to get $33K I think and if you waited longer you could probably get $36K.

Had an interesting afternoon. I got a call yesterday from a dealer I've gone to asking to come in today. Thought OK, cool they're just trying to sell it to me, I'll drop by. First thing he says is 'How will you be paying the deposit?' Lol, I didn't realise I was there to buy then, told him I'm still visiting dealers...

Te dealer today tried to get me to sign anyway and showed me his computer which according to his explanation gave him $936 profit on $54,850. The dealer I saw yesterday reckoned he'd only make about $750 on $54,500.

There are a couple on car sales with 0km (confirmed) for $53,500 but they're in Vic. The lowest in NSW is $54,488......

I wonder if that profit includes dealer delivery or is on top of their dealer delivery fee?

Well, the end of the month creates good progress, the dealers start chasing you, lol :locomotive:

Had a couple of dealers ring me today so the best is now down below $54,000 drive-away with white on black plates, a full tank of fuel, floor mats and dash mat...

Ha Ha Ha

Well, I'm assuming they still do the dash mat unless they're using a MkI mat if there's no may with MkII.

Same stuff as before but with Alloy Spare as well after a call this morning. I'm guessing I'll either have to buy now or wait till 30 June as I doubt they'll do anything for me once the month ticks over. A couple of the dealers are out simply because the price is now below cost for them. Only big ones still in the running.

Well, I have placed a Deposit on a 2012 Ford Falcon FG MkII G6E Turbo in Silhouette with Cashmere Leather Interior and Matching Alloy Spare Wheel :w00t2:

Options are:

  • Full Tank of Fuel
  • Set of Four Carpet Mats - Shadow (figured they'd be better with the mud and stuff)
  • Dash Mat
  • Premium Number Plates (B/W instead of Y/B)

Estimated Build Time is 6-8 weeks but the Salesman is giving me a call on Monday hopefully with a more definite date from Ford Australia after they've submitted the order. The sale had to be approved by the DP, the Sales Manager couldn't approve it as I'd negotiated down to $348 below the cost price their computer calculated (includes paying the employees, utilities, rent, etc apparently). I think I got a good deal in that regard. The DP tried to push it up to cover the difference but I threatened to walk so after a couple of minutes he agreed, lol.

Can't Wait :sungum: I swore I would never buy a new car but after all the stuffing around with used cars, I got sick of it and went new. Price was less than $54K Drive-Away. All the 2012 Demo's (bar one in SA with 4,500kms) on Car Sales were around $50K plus so I got one with 0km for less than $4K extra.

For those looking at these cars, you should be targetting paying no more than $54,500 (with what I got in extras). At this point, some of the dealers on tighter margins will start dropping out. At $53,500, all but the biggest of big dealers will be out (sorry Country people) and this is the limit where you push for those last couple of dollars like I did. With no Options at all, I think $53,000 flat would be possible.

Yeah, I know, I'll feel it if I sell up. The only thing I see myself upgrading to at the moment is an F6E in 2016 when the last ones are made. But then I also thinking about houses in that time as well so I'll probably just end up keeping it for longer cause of the mortgage.

Well that's an original combination :lookaround:

Congrats though. How many sleeps? Getting anxious yet? Got your favorite cardigan ready for delivery day?

I put a deposit on a 2012 Ranger Wildtrak in Metro Grey today. It has all the fruit, more than my G6! Cool vehicle. Ford have kicked arse with this new model. Sad to see the G6 go, but not fringe friggin benifit tax!!! Oh and don't ask what I've lost.
