FG F6's are going pretty cheap these days :D

I plan on picking up a second hand FG, maybe not a F6, as my next car in a few years. The value of falcons goes to shit quickly, but its great for second hand buyers.

Well you can pick an F6 up for around 50 these days. While yes, the value of them drops to shit after a few years the original 03/04 XR6T's can still be sold for around 18,19k provided they've been treated right. Typhoons are still around the 30 - 40s mark for a well treated one as well. The performance models seem to hold value a bit easier.

FG XR6T is actually quicker than the F6 is anyway!

ahh yer i know it. Company policy does not allow us to take one to the shops for lunchs and what not, every km must be accounted for on them unfortunently. Plus the customers don't like it.

pfft how easy is it to account for the kms though. Oh yeah there was a noise coming from the muffler bearings so we had to take it for a road test. So that's where the extra 1200kms came from :thumbsup:

If I was going to buy a ford I'd probably be looking at one of the new Focus Rs models. They should depreciate nicely in the next few years and they'd be a stupidly fun car for day to day stuff. Either that or one of the new Falcons with the 5l coyote engine :worship:

Oh and Morning Mangs.

221kw and 400nm through the front wheels lol. Apparently the tricky diff eliminates torque steer very well. Would love to have a go in one.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA!

Love the add. "no rust". That thing had rust hanging out of it at the last dyno day I saw you at. Time doesn't heal all wounds especially rusty wounds!

Lol. Somebody broke the internet. And everything else. No one can do any work. Oh well, I'll bum on the interwebs on my phone.

@Colin: some surface rust, and a bubble or two on the bonnet from memory. Nothing too bad.

P.s. how do you quote/multiquote on mobile sau?

we cut all the rust out when we removed the rear section, from memory the top of the rear screen was starting to get some surface rust.

Mangs

work sucks. forcing me to do some actual work lately. not impressed. as a result, looking for another job. I feel I should be able to get away with an hour worth of honest work in a day if working for government. I actually had to put in a good 5 hours worth of work today....

    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
    • Man, I miss having a phone that fits into my hand!  
    • The speed this thing starts up is making me want to replace my old one. Though my old one immediately kicks into reverse camera as soon as reverse is engaged, it's clearly not part of the android system. For everything else though, starting up, connecting to hotspot, opening maps, starting music in spotify is easily a ~2 minute affair.
    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
