Had plates 430 - FIR or something similar.

Ever asked to borrow one to take down to the shops and back?

FG F6's are going pretty cheap these days

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.

[hylian]

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!

[Dan_B]

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.

[Beelzebub89]

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

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

Oh and Morning Mangs.

[Smity42]

Morning Mangs,

How does the focus RS compare to the XR5?

[Beelzebub89]

RS is the up spec XR5 I think. Or it's the replacement for it. Either way it's better.

[Smity42]

Winning!

[Isola]

RS is the up spec XR5 I think. Or it's the replacement for it. Either way it's better.

Yeah I think it's an RS XR5 from memory.

[Beelzebub89]

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.

[Smity42]

How much do they go for?

[Bunta]

an xr5 was on the list for Annas business car. Great car to drive. The RS should be even better.

[Benno31]

on another note, one of my old skylines is for sale again...

they changed the turbo, plenum, plumb back the SSQV & that's it...

why change a GT30/40 to a GT35/40 is beyond me???

it makes less power now then when I owned it, it would be far less responsive also...

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!

[Smity42]

Anyone want to buy an XF ute? No rust.

[Benno31]

Anyone want to buy an XF ute? No rust.

I see what you did there!

[Beelzebub89]

How much do they go for?

50-60k for a new one.

Anyone want to buy an XF ute? No rust.

How much rust does the 31 ute have?

[Smity42]

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?

[Isola]

How much rust does the 31 ute have?

Piss-all from what I saw of it.

[Dan_B]

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....
