They've dropped it a few $k already, people aren't stupid, even still at over $60k good luck.

They've offered me the 2012 for about $52k on the road, I'm still holding out though.

May have my F6 up for sale early next year. I'm in VIC though, so probably not ideal unless you want to truck it to WA. Will be looking for around $50K if I do decide to put in on the market.

When I was looking at F6's in Oct / Nov I had the same feeling...asking price was too high (or there was an unwillingness from the Dealer to negotiate on price). Key to this was the fact I was looking for an "FPV"...F6 or GT

We had a 2010 FG XR6 to trade in (but not a deal breaker) with approx. 51,000 Ks on the clock...and in good nick.

Looking at Cars Sales I figured I could sell it privately for $15K..and was generally offered $11-$12k by the Dealers.

Examples of what we looked at (all had similar KM's of less than 20,000ks) :

2013 White F6 $56K (plus on-road costs) - Dealer didn't even try to move on price

2013 Petroleum F6 $53K (plus on-road costs) Warwick Farm - Dealer may have moved slightly but Manager didn't appear interested in actually selling it...this is the one we would have purchased

2013 White F6 $53K (plus on-road costs) - ruled itself out through poor results of test drive...modded

2013 White GT 69K (plus on-road costs) - Dealer came down to $60K (plus on-road costs)...but probably indicated it was over priced to begin with

2013 Petroleum GT $59K (plus on-road costs) Rockdale - This is the one we purchased.

From the beginning, this Dealer looked like he wanted to sell a car. He asked if we had a trade in and we declined as we said that a Dealer would not offer what we considered would be "reasonable". He responded with "you might be surprised"...so while we took his GT for a test drive, they looked over our XR6.

Then ensued a 3Hr period of friendly banter, negotiations, umming and arring...and claims of "we can't do it for that"...etc etc.

My Wife was interested in the F6...I was interested in the GT, but would have been equally happy in the F6. They asked us for a price that would close the deal, and my Wife nominated a figure which even I thought was "too low". Anyway, they came to a figure which I would have taken, but the Wife held out as she wanted me to take the F6 for a test drive before making a final decision (she had already taken a test drive in it). The Dealer could see we were serious buyers and they wanted to do 2 things :

* Sell the car

* Stop us from leaving and buying one elsewhere.

So the end result ? We drove off in the GT (14,000kms on the Clock), they organised Finance there and then (5.89%), we left behind our XR6 as a Trade-in...and the change-over price (Drive Away).....$40K.

You can make your own valuations on what component was trade in and what was the car value...changeover is all that matters.

Got to be happy with that...and we are.

(As a side note...the XR6 has since been placed on Car Sales by the Dealer for $19,990 plus on-road costs)....what were those famous words from that great Aussie Movie ?... :-) )

ps- thanks for the info Gaza, I love the GT and the V8 noise but like the idea of the F6 being a bit more stealthy. Had some quick/ loud cars when I was younger, everytime I gave it a bit though was looking behind for the men in blue
