2009 Ford FG G6E Turbo $12,000

2009 Ford G6E Turbo sedan, white with cream leather interior - $12,000

Mechanically in very good condition, runs and drives very well. Has a couple of minor paint marks, but is straight & presents very well. This is the (at the time) top of the line luxury model from Ford, and is fitted with the brilliant combination of a 4 litre turbo-charged Barra inline 6 cylinder motor and the ZF 6 speed auto - exactly the same combination as used in the XR6 Turbo. Motor output is 270KW, and the power & torque delivery has to be felt to be appreciated. This is a luxury sedan, with performance that many "sports" cars could only dream of.

It has 19" factory option alloy rims fitted with 245/35/19 Khumo KU39 tyres - the rears were only fitted last week, the fronts have around 10,000 km on them & plenty of life left. 

Brakes are good, battery was replaced around 18 months ago, wheel alignment done in March this year (6,000 km ago), Bilstein shocks fitted all around 3 years / 60,000km ago, auto trans serviced with genuine fluid approx 18 months ago, engine always serviced with Castrol Edge full synthetic oil, brake fluid, cooland and diff oil changed recently, aircon works perfectly, fitted with factory Sat-Nav, leather upholstery in good condition (drivers seat showing a small amount of wear), floor mats installed, Earl's turbo oil filter & braided lines installed. 

Everything works as it should. Anything that has needed replacing has been replaced, mostly with new genuine Ford parts - this includes common failures in this model like the brake switch, wiper motor & glovebox lid. 

Being a G6E Turbo model, the car has multiple luxury refinements This includes leather seats, electric driver's seat with memory, memory external mirrors with auto-dipping passenger's mirror when reversing, sta-nav, cruise control, climate control aircon, bluetooth integration, remote central locking, flip keys, reverse camera, front & rear parking sensors. 

It is fitted with a 2300kg heavy duty towbar, and includes the tongue & tow-ball. 

The car comes with books & 2 fully workjing keys.

There are a few not-so-good points - some minor paint blemishes, slight wear on driver's seat, driver's seat lumbar adjuster shaft broken (but can still adjust lumbar setting to suit), a few minor marks on rims, aircon compressor is a bit noisy from outside car (or sitting in a drive-through etc) - it's been like this since I owned the car, but the aircon works perfectly. The low asking price refelects these issues already.

I can supply a tax invoice if requested - if you are purchasing for a GST registered business you can claim the GST portion back.

    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
    • curious to know what drivers you chose and the results? quik mafs, says two 6.5s should roughly equate somewhere between a single 8" or 10" driver. i agree that IB is definitely the way to go in most cars imo.
    • S13 and R32 rear suspension geometry is horrible once you lower it (which everyone does). The camber & toe out ramp is very aggressive, hence it's common for the S13 boys/girls to use a S14 or S15 subframe as the geometry is light years ahead. I'm sure the same can be done on R32s, but I don't know anyone that has done that.
