Bizkets is Drunk? Too heavy needs boost Member 5,929 Member For: 11y 4m 29d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 06/12/13 12:13 PM Share Posted 06/12/13 12:13 PM Premium stereo is rubbish. Save your coin for an after market one. Rims you can pick up cheap.leather is not that good but if you look after it it will last a long time. Looks great though when new. For $4500 it's not bad but don't hold your breath on a big sound. enjoy anyways mate there absolutely a great car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra181 Member 13 Member For: 11y 29d Posted 06/12/13 02:18 PM Share Posted 06/12/13 02:18 PM (edited) Yeah the stereo was the only thing in the pack that I was really looking at, 19" rims and leather I don't really want.So you can see my hesitation on spending that dough for a stereo.OK so I forget about the lux pack.Am I asking too much for a zf for $39.500?Ford quoted me $2000 for the upgrade from manual to auto.

cobra181 Member 13 Member For: 11y 29d Posted 10/12/13 03:19 AM Share Posted 10/12/13 03:19 AM Looks like no one is prepared to deal.Al the dealers I've tried said no way to throwing in an auto for their current $39,500 offer. I'm not going to pay 41k+ when I can get an SS V8 For 39k.How about looking at a 2013 model early next year, will the deals be any better?Sorry about all the questions, it's been 10 years since I bought a new car and I have no idea how the salesmen operate these days.

cobra181 Member 13 Member For: 11y 29d Posted 10/12/13 04:13 AM Share Posted 10/12/13 04:13 AM (edited) Not sure why I can't quote.Buying low k second hand would be the obvious choice but I'm now at the point in life where this will be my last new car purchase.I've always bought low K, the only other brand new car I bought was my XC Cobra. So it's more about emotions than common sense.I'd be very wary about a showroom demo, from what I have experienced, it's taking out a cold engine that's not properly run in and then being flogged to within an inch of it's life.Particularly with this class of car.

cobra181 Member 13 Member For: 11y 29d Posted 10/12/13 04:33 AM Share Posted 10/12/13 04:33 AM (edited) Yeah I know.Like I said it's about emotions more than common sense. If it was list price (near 50k) then I would never consider it, however the low k examples I've seen are only a couple of grand cheaper than new, if that, some are even more!Moora Ford in the WA wheatbelt are going to get back to me, they want to crunch some numbers so it seems they don't have much wiggle room.Not like the old days that's for sure. It's actually frightening that this market has got so bad. Edited 10/12/13 04:38 AM by cobra181 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
