Thor2DaCore Donating Members 35 Member For: 12y 8m 21d Posted 20/10/14 06:47 AM Share Posted 20/10/14 06:47 AM Hi guys.I am in the market for a FG F6 and have finally found one in my state that fits my specs (low kms, colour,) and I am just wondering what particulars I should look out for when I go to look at it this weekend. It’s a 2012 FG MK2.I am hoping there isn’t anything wrong with it as it’s only 14,000kms but I thought it can’t hurt to ask and have some idea before I turn up. I have already asked questions and have seen the receipts of engine work done by Autotech.What things should I pay close attention to before sealing the deal?Thanks!

Its does a safe and easy 368rwkw on 98. I am very lucky to have found this vehicle in QLD. Going to meet the seller on Saturday and pick up the F6. Excited is an understatement!

Very good value I thought. 14k kms, power to 368rwkw, 6/4 brembos, suspension coil overs / sway bars and I get all the stock stuff (rims, exhaust, engine parts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
