Momentum80 Member 8 Member For: 11y 9m 24d Posted 25/06/12 09:54 AM Share Posted 25/06/12 09:54 AM Hey guys,Just discovered the Forums and thought I would ask you for some knowledge. (I used the search function, came up with no results).Just wondering about things I should expect before buying a xr6t.The one I am looking at is going cheaper than most others, which could be due to swift sale, or could be due to issues.I am currently contacting the owner and talking to him about it. What are some common issues with this type of car, things I should ask about, and more importantly things to look for when inspecting?What are the running costs of this car like? I have noticed it is a 4.0l and yet the fuel consumption is listed as similar to many 2.0 and 3.0l cars on the market.Any general owners information would be useful.Thanks, Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momentum80 Member 8 Member For: 11y 9m 24d Posted 25/06/12 10:22 AM Author Share Posted 25/06/12 10:22 AM which model are you looking at?2003 xr6 Turbo. I am a complete noob on these cars so I'm not sure what other model etc there are. The boot doesn't have any markings or badges (falcon, xr6 turbo). Which I thought they normally did? Possibly an engine swap?Is there any way to tell from a chassis or engine number? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaps of info on here about what to look out for have look about. Edited 25/06/12 10:40 AM by Gasman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
