Hi everyone. New to the forum, some awesome info here.

I am real close to buying a 09 g6et in NZ. There is also a couple 08's for the same price.

What are the main areas to look at, listen for, poke around?.

These posts on bushes and cradles have really opened my eyes. Does anyone know if they changed cradle in 09.

I appreciate any info. Thank you.

ok Back to other threads :closetema:

No LSD but only $900 for an xr6 turbo LSD or $1599 for a harrop true track LSD.

As the song goes " so fly like a g6 "

Ive had 0 problems with mine " touch wood "

08 g6e turbo just clocked 75,000km

  • Ambient Temp Sensors in the passenger mirror are as much a consumable as the diff bushes. Mine has done been through two now, 4 years old.

Brake switch often causes ABS/DSC fault, mine went at 96000ks and is fairly common. But a cheap fix.

Seat base often cracks and makes noises

Check all the Bluetooth works, incoming and outgoing calls.

Bring your iphone/ipod and make sure that works.

Make sure the subwoofer works

No leaks on carpet when aircon is on and going around a corner.

Check aircon blows cold and heater blows hot.

I have an 08 G6ET, I've had the following issues:

1: iPhone 4 doesnt work with the ipod integration (I have to press play and choose songs on my iPhone not the ICC), the ICC displays not supported when I connect it. Aparently its a ford firmware issue which can be fixed if my ford dealer pulls their finger out

2: Heater doesnt work too well (this may be my own judgement of heat) still to be looked at

Apart from that the diff bushes are a big issue with these cars

Hi guys thanks you for the replies, been away sorry. Yep these are nice lookers must be that shiny grill and turbo badge that attracts me otherwise I'd settle for xr6, which is going for 25k-30k year 2010. 2011.

Definitely have a poke around this week silhouette 09 g6et 136,000km $25,9950nz try haggle couple grand off that otherwise im walking out. nothing major done on service records, just regulars. most g6et here are ex lease vehicles

steel 09 g6et 63000km asking $29,995nz. For that price their are plenty 2011 non turbo xr6's around

bloody bushes aye. better make the wise choice
