fill Member 127 Member For: 19y 8m 15d Location: Sydney Posted 02/11/05 09:02 AM Share Posted 02/11/05 09:02 AM I am about to buy as well. I have been working the dearlerships over and private buyers for a few months now to get the best price. I was quoted a total of $47,686.59 for a BF with auto, sunroof, premium sound, met paint, tint, and mats. It adds up to a $6349 discount when you add everything up. I was quoted over $8000 off for a BA before the BF came out.I am still trying to decide if it is better for me to get a great deal on a BA or go for the BF. I am going to be selling the car in 12-18 months and don't want to lose heaps in depreciation so it is becoming a difficult decision. I must have a car buy November 28 as my current lease expires.Good luck with your deal and great choice!

asromanut Member 50 Member For: 21y 10m 25d Location: Melbourne Posted 02/11/05 10:47 AM Author Share Posted 02/11/05 10:47 AM I think its the best colour that ford have brought out! the 6speed auto is standard on the BF XR6T and XR8, if u get another model BF its a $1250 option.. but there are two diffrent 6speed boxes, the premium model falcons get the high torque capactity box, also performance brakes are standard aswell, I took one of their demos for a spin today and the auto is sweet let me tell u! I had a T5 in my other T and have always been a manual man, but this ZF auto is the smoothest shifting auto ive ever driven. coming from a phase2 kit I kinda miss the power but the auto more than makes up it.. its going to be a November build so I can expect it within 3weeks cheersMark Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21081-ordered-my-new-xr6t/#findComment-311073 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kurve67 Guests Posted 03/11/05 06:57 AM Share Posted 03/11/05 06:57 AM "the 6speed auto is standard on the BF XR6T and XR8, if u get another model BF its a $1250 option.. "not quite correct I'm afraid.the 6sp auto is optional on the XR6T. standard auto is an improved 4sp. the 6sp auto is only standard on new BF v8 falcons and fairlane 6/8, territory 6's.test driving a 6sp auto T today or tomorrow. hope the rain holds off in poo-town...have been quoted $45.5k for 6sp auto with premo sound, with fleet.haggle and haggle and haggle and get the fleet discount. go through a broker if you have to. they fall out of bed so badly pricewise you'd be crazy not to drive the deal as hard as the car.cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21081-ordered-my-new-xr6t/#findComment-311384 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kurve67 Guests Posted 03/11/05 11:49 AM Share Posted 03/11/05 11:49 AM cut n paste from the ford website, in the section on the new 6sp auto transmission*Six speed automatic transmission standard on Fairmont Ghia, Fairlane, LTD and all AWD Territory models. Optional on Falcon XR sedan range and sedans optioned with 3 valve V8. Also optional on XR6 Turbo and XR8 Ute.Sorry guys...The good news (I reckon) is that because the vast majority of BF XR6T auto buyers will opt for the 6sp, it will quickly become 'standard' when haggling over price, much like you'd expect to get premo sound for next to nothing.www.webwombat.com.au has a great motoring section...their writer gave the 6sp auto BF range a big workout recentlycheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/21081-ordered-my-new-xr6t/#findComment-311505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
