There is a known problem with the FG with the HIM unit. You need to get Ford to replace it.

Why is he paying 40k for a second hand XR6T??

Yeah, I figure there are a few out there that are compensating for something by owning a XR6T

Thanks tab and bunna. I can totally understand where you are coming from with the salesman, I have had a keen interest in cars for a long time and even argued with salesman about timing belts so you dont need to tell me what they are like. I should have probably explained myself better in my initial post and said that I did not take his word as gospel and did research. Typical trait of a Virgo, you tell me it is blue I am not going to believe you until I RGB it. Anyway, thanks for the welcome. Looks like the testosterone around here needs to be kept in check every now and then. I have no problem kicking it with the big boys, or kicking the big boys every now and then. Would really love to know if there are wives/girlfriends etc behind all these males?

She's stock. Got it from Torque Ford at North Lakes. Forgot to mention that is ex GST so I think it was $36300 incl. ETA - that was also in the $2k discount period late August.

Dont think the salesman ever said anything about these changes being related to the FG - reread my post and you will see that I PRESUMED these changes would NOT come under the FG banner. The salesman actually did not sell me the car as such. I had NEVER sat in a Falcon until mid-August, then researched the car I wanted. Being rurally isolated I found the car that met my specs - alas there was only one in QLD - and ordered it over the phone. Had never even driven one, let alone been pushed a sales spiel by a sh*t-sprouting salesman. May surprise you all, even more so that I am a female in a males world of XR6T. Now, can someone direct me to the section of this forum where us females can converse without the battle of testosterone?!

Just got my 09 FG XR6T demo with 4000km for $33600 drive away.

Dont really know about the "must-buy-now" sales pitch, the deal was already signed, sealed and delivered. A quick Google does back the stories though: 2.0L Falcon

I thought I was just having hot flushes! Seems to be a lot worse when you sit idling and go again, doesnt cool after that. Will have to get this fixed before the QLD summer kicks in.

I dont know about a FGII however when I picked up my FG on 30th Aug the salesman told us there will no longer be the straight 6 - rather a V - and the addition of a XR4T. I doubt they would put changes like that under the same model - even as an additional series.
