iBilateral Member 25 Member For: 10y 7m 3d Posted 06/02/15 05:56 AM Share Posted 06/02/15 05:56 AM (edited) Hey all,around a year ago I made a post trying to decide what was best for me in choosing an XR6T or an F6.The time has come for me to choose a car (only have $30k budget though) and the decision I've come to is the following but I need help deciding;- F6 Auto (Found one manual asking for $35k but its too much out of budget for me to get). I found one for $33k which already has had work done to it [350kw] and sitting on 100k KM and another for 28k that's stock and sitting on 130k KM).-XR6T Manual. Not in the colours I want (apart from one but the guy isn't getting back to me). Can pick one up for about $20k and might be able to convince the bank (aka my nan) that I need to spend some cash on it to make it last longer.-XR6T Auto. I'm a little stuck for wear guys. I read up that the F6's aren't even majorly that much faster than an XR6T so I'm a bit confused on what to go for. Also, they don't have the colour I'm after (apart from a Green F6 with 200k KM on it which is way too much).Advice peeps?Is the F6 really worth the extra? The guy who is selling his worked one has had it for two years and he did the work to it via a shop.Better off just getting an XR6T and doing some work to it via a shop?Cheers,George.

Personally, I'd be going for an auto F6, the ZF's are a much better suit to the turbo motor than the manual. The manual can be fun, but the ZF is a great box and is faster.

The good news is that it was a privately traded in and Hunter's Expensive Daewoo supposedly have the mechanics look at it.Swing or miss?I know the KM are fairly high but Hunter Expensive Daewoo is a pretty big company and fairly reputable. Any advice?PS. Am I allowed to post a link? Edited 06/02/15 06:16 AM by iBilateral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found plenty of Xr6's for $10k less with maybe 20,000k KM ontop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear this is a bargain, never spun a tyrehttp://carsales.mobi/cars/details/?R=AGC-AD-17145791&utm_content=autoalert&utm_medium=email&utm_source=transact&WT.seg_4=AutoAlert;PCAA&WT.seg_4=SearchAlert;PCAA&silo=Stock&utm_campaign=bau&vertical=Car&sdmvc=1I got 18.5k sight unseen and honestly I was thinking 17k due to kms and the condition it was in, needed new tyres,service,diff was oh hum,paint repair in places, let it really go for the past 6-12 months so it was a bit haggardI mean I used the blower vac to vac it out last lolTo get 18.5 was fair and bloody good luck getting those figures for it but that's the car game, ya get some bust ya balls then u get some paying ticket price the house always wins but that's big business No offense to JET, but I'd probably give it a miss...might wanna ask him about it though, if you're interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
