I have bought 2 cars already modified and saved $30k on the first car. The F6X I now own has been lightly modified but with age and 80000km's on the car its up to the individual whether or not it is a bargain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car is mint. Best I could do after visiting 6 Vic dealerships was 41k for a new Limited edition, it was a painful exercise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still running sweet as after a track day and had quite a few thrashing every now and then. Had it for 3 years and now done 88000km. I did recently try selling it and no one wants to buy modded so decided to keep it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ute I bought had a full pw kit plenum included and all the other goodies and I payed same price as a stock one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terence05 Member 5 Member For: 11y 10m 4d Posted 12/02/13 08:24 AM Share Posted 12/02/13 08:24 AM Finally got a brand new 2012 XR6T in Silhouette, auto and limited edition. Went to two dealers. One wanted to order me in a 2013 model for $46,500. I walked away. End of Jan went into another dealer had a chat and ended up with my current car mentioned above. All in $39,800. Pretty happy. However, didn't have 10% deposit so couldn't get 2.9% finance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
