Gee, 23k for a 2011 G6et with 70k on the clock. If all virgin a pretty good deal!

Yeah mate X Telstra car and all's great with it..

A few small bush scratches on passenger side but will def buff out. im getting this sorted when finished modding..

Was cheapest by a long way for an '11 so I thought maybe had dramas somewhere but it all has checked out..

Currently being ripped apart for some major mods :)

Should be finished and tuned up in the next fortnight.. ;)

Absolutely love it .. so far hahaha :D

I love it how these days with turbocharged Fords we can read comments like "and want 500hp but will be a daily so not really chasing mega HP" as if 400hp is what your grannie's car has :)
