  1. Happy Birthday chalks1971!

  2. My missu has driven ours for the last two years. Will buy another when the lease runs out, If I get what I owe for this one.
  3. Me too. @Crustyman Book in now, they have to replace the whole mirror aasembly.
  4. f*cked if I know, I drive it & put fuel in it (95), its leased so I dont even know how much I pay for fuel. I love the way the car forces you back into the seat whe you put your foot down to overtake. I generally only travel at 120kmh on the highway, too risky for any more, get to 130 & caught & there goes the licence for a month. It also feels like youre not moving when you slow down to the normal speed after a while at high cruise speed.
  5. Sorry if this has been done but it appears the search option doesnt work here. Is there a reported problem with the bluetooth? The Minister for War & Peace reports that the number comes up on the ICU & its says connected, but theres no sound?
  6. I got the matching big wheel & theres still plenty of room in the boot. When I bought it they slugged me more than $250 from memory. They told me the $250 option was only out of the factory - probably got gyped but when you live in the middle of nowhere you get used to being gyped, & also needing the bigger spare - f*ck travelling a couple of hundred k's at 80kmh.
  7. Whats the difference with the Ipod software, & how do you tell which youve got?

    I reckon it is!
  9. Couldnt be bothered stsrting a new thread. Whats that bubble looking thing at the front of the dash in the middle?
  10. Straight to court for anything serious, not sure if doing 170kmh down homebush bay rd is serious though?
  11. I probably got screwed last week, but am not too disappointed about it. Picked up an 08 demonstator with 2000km, tinted, safety pack for $50k with a trade in of my 2007 BFII XR^T with 60000 kms. Seduce in colour, & the missus is very happy with the colour. It also has a rear spoiler, which makes it look luxurious & sport at the same time.
  12. Well done QLD, dont know how you didnt score more tries with all that possession in the first half. I bet that black beards a different colour this weekend!
  13. What did you have to say to get that price?
  14. I must have been lucky coming upto 60K, unless they picked it up at a service & just didnt bother me with the details.
  15. Sons of Anarchy on Austar is pretty good, its about a bikie gang in USA. Outragous Fortune isnt too bad either, its about a dysfunctional NZ family & their friends.
  16. DILLIGAF - Do I Look Like I Give A Fluck SNAFU - Situation Normal All Flucked Up
  17. DO yourself a favour & go straight for the keg setup, its pretty cheap these days. The biggest problem with brewing, as everybody else said, is the cleaning of bottles. If you go down the bottles route, get into a habit of cleaning as you go, and make sure you put them upside down to dry. Brewing is a great experience, & with the keg system the missus cant count the empties.

  19. Thanks mate The reason I found this site was because I was trying to find what a fair price for my car was. Everybodys input has been helpful. It appears that Im looking for too much (based on where I live, rather than the actual car), & if that's the case the answer to what I was seeking is that Ill be keeping it for another couple of years, unless theres a salesman needing one more sale at the end of the financial year sales, which Ill be in Sydney just in time for. Cheers
  20. Thaks Tab. Yeah Im out in the sticks, but am happy to travel to the buyer, as Ive said, this car is in top condition, so if someone was 1/2 keen and had the money Id be happy to head to the big smoke. I would have thought that anyone that wanted to buy would want a decent trip in it (eg fly in to Dubbo, Ill meet them at the airport, or anywhere else between here & there, give me the bank cheque, & they take the beast home). Ill definetly drop in & see Pat, Ive got a good quote from Simon I think from Bankstown Ford,, but he cant give me a trade in fugure on mine w/o seeing it, which I understand but surley a ball-park figure could be provided on the specs. Im already in the frame of mind that Im keeping mine, & will just rollover the lease, but if I can offload it at price conducive to me & the buyer, then it will be gone. Hopefully a dealer will need a sale or two before the end of the financial year. Hint, hint Pat PM me!
  21. So whats a fair price for a private sale? Ive got it on Drives for $28.5k with twelve months rego because the dealers prices are way above the other quotes from other dealers, obvioulsy for the reasons already mentioned. Am I expecting too much? If so Ill just keep it, I was caught up in the lease being over & the possibility of a new car, but theres nothing wrong with this one, & Ill never go back to not having the turbo, great out here for overtaking a couple of B-doubles or caravans. Being in outback NSW Im restricted from heading into Sydney to talk to several dealers on the one day, but amm heading to Sydney at the end of the month, & will do so then. Thanks for this site too, its a great reference, without it I probably would have just jumped for the specked up XR6T without even considering G6ET, Im already a bowler so have the hat and bag, the cardy will come in handy though, is there an option for slippers?
  22. I think he's added a little extra to the cost of the car to make up the difference. What are people picking these up for 2nd hand? Mines still got a year to run on warranty, which is all you get on a used car anyway, from my understanding. Being out in the middle of nowhere I havent got alot of options! I thought there was a recession, & they would want to trade a bit more!!
  23. Thanks for the advice fellas, got my dealer looking for a G6ET, the missus didnt want Auto, but tough bickies. Anybody want to pick up a XR6T BFII (Aug 07 build) with protection pack, luxury pack, 17" wheels with 17" mag spare, ego in colour, & a little under 60,000 country km's on the clock, for the trade in price just give me a yell. If this is against forum policy, just delete the second bit but leave the thanks, & sorry!
  24. Nyngan here! 2007 BF MKII (upgrade) (Aug) Ego XR6T, Luxury pack, coming off lease, but probably gonna get "stuck" with it.
  25. Just got this quote, does it sound to pricey to anybody else. Theyve offered me what I owe ($29K on my 2yo MK2 XR6T with 60K on the clock) as a trade in. Ford FG XR6 Turbo Sedan 4.0lt 6 cylinder 6 speed manual Vehicle Cost: $46990.00 Delivery $ 1895.00 Accessories: Prestige Paint $ 400.00 Alloy Spare Wheel $ 250.00 Technology Pack $ 495.00 Luxury Interior Pack $ 5000.00 Side Air Bags $ 300.00 Tow Pack $ 500.00 Window Tint $ 395.00 Protection Pack $ 390.00 Carpet Floor Mats $ 135.00 Dash Mats $ 75.00 Boot Scuff Guard $ 70.00 Registration , Stamp Duty & CTP $ 2680.00 Total Including GST $59575.00
