I dunno if I'd buy a BA with that many kms n that much power. Boost wouldn't be too high based on supporting mods but prob check how long it's been running that much power.

I'd be best to go a mechanic and get bushes checked, check turbo for shaft play, check the gearbox, etc

It's very cheap but might cost you in the long run

Call Pitlane and ask them for info? Looks like a good deal to me though.

Hi Guys,

Long time lurker first time poster. I've been eyeing off a FG mk2 XR6 Turbo for the last couple of months and am ready to bite the bullet now that wife approval has been obtained. Very keen on the power and the fact that I can throw the upcoming kid in the back without shaking it to death with my current Evo, oh, and warranty is good...

Been looking at a few on carsales, in particular- some of the Ex-Demo models with less than 10,000 kms on the clock. Leather would be nice, but not a deal breaker. My questions are-

What can I expect to pay, what would you guys consider reasonable as dealers on carsales are quoting $42k drive away for ex-demo units with less than 4,000 (happy to go up to 10,000) kms on the clock?

Any good dealer recommendations? I'm work in the City, Melbourne and live in Preston, happy to go for a drive and give the evo one last flogging (evo has been tentatively sold to a work mate so don't need to trade it in but money talks).

Keen to move on this ASAP and appreciate any input, cheers.

Picking mine up today. 2010 auto in sunburst. 34,000ks, immaculate. $27k D/A which im pretty happy with as ive been lookin for ages.

I kept looking at this http://www.cityford.com.au/used-vehicles/dms?controller=dms&task=showitem&make=FORD&model=FALCON&keyword=Keyword&price_from=0&price_to=max&dealer=&sort=&id=75 which sounded awesome and if I'd been in the area would have taken a look. Anyone looking for a late model FG m2 might want to check it out.
