discostig Manual mode ________________________ All day, erryday Donating Members 13,798 Member For: 17y 4m 26d Gender: Male Location: Probably above atmospheric pressure Posted 15/02/14 04:00 AM Share Posted 15/02/14 04:00 AM Man don't be telling us that 2007 BF MKII, about 435rwhp since 100,000km. Owned since 37,000km/1 year old, first owner WA police.Front wheel bearings seem to come up every 100,000km for me. I do love to smash the bends though. Probably bought the wrong car for that but maybe that's why I enjoy it so much None of the ancillaries like power steering/alternator have died yet thankfully! Gearbox wore out (slipping under power) over time due to the power being used daily so I recently had it rebuilt to far stronger specs. Bushes/balljoints are my enemy though, always replacing them. Again, the hard cornering probably doesn't help.Like the others warned, any car at this level of km is a concern. Shop around and if it's cheap, go for it! Lower km is likely to be better though...but never can tell.

Spinning Donating Members 348 Member For: 15y 9m 24d Posted 24/04/14 08:10 AM Share Posted 24/04/14 08:10 AM As is very offen the case, if the car has been built with respect , as a long term keeper, than there will be real savings to had for the buyer / purchaser. However, if it been slapped together and is on the verge of failuring big time , what may seem as a great buy will quickly turn into a night mare . If you have questions, and it is clear you have , and good reason too, unless the reply is pausible and in line with what you would expect , then stay well clear. If it then passes the honesty check , then proceed to have the car checked by someone in the know and whom you trust before shelling out your hard earned. Good luck 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83049-should-i-buy-this-xr6t-merged-topic/page/42/#findComment-1467349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager dollars to doughnuts thats the old Nizpro ute. (which is a total bargain at that price) Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/83049-should-i-buy-this-xr6t-merged-topic/page/42/#findComment-1467350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
