Is It Worth It ?

[stang]

In my opinion NO it`s not worth it.Best keeping the T for at least 5 years,buy then the model that comes out eg. the next phoon will have a sh*t load more features.

For example , how many people had a series 1 Xr6T and bought a series 1 Typhoon.Now if I can recall there were debates was it worth the extra 15k.

I don`t think so and then you got hit with the depreciation of your own car on top.

What you were buying was exactly the same as what you had with a few extra features and an FPV no.Now this isn`t to say that an xr6t is better than phoon obviously not,especially after all the hiccups were sorted out. But at the end of the day they are both still falcons and a 2004 xr6t and a 2004 phoon are still 2004 falcons.

Now the guy who waited for the BF or what ever comes next,he has brains.

Whats he get for his money?, well 6 speed auto is the first thing as well as what ever other improvements that come with the new models,better designs,braking etc.And in most cases ends up paying the same money as he would have spent if he purchased 2 years earlier.

Me yeah I got my 2003 Xr6t, I still love it has ford impressed me much?

Nope,is there service good?nope,Do I have signs of rust on a 2 year old car(only slight surface rust behind right hand rear windscreen as per thread on forum)so it will go ford to fix what never should have been.Would I buy an FPV? at this point no because I refuse to pay top dollar to a car company that can`t get there act together.

Ok,

I have ordered it

The delivery will (might) be 20/1/06 and it will be a 2006 build.

I am happy with the deal overall.

You need to remember that this is a business tool for me and I do not look at it the same way as some of you who have bought their cars personally. Any loss is a tax deduction

I got the Big Brembo's and Sports wheel as my only options as all the stuff from the T will be moved across.

I will have some fun removing all the stuff over the next few weeks.

Bugger borrowing all that dough to lose a heap of it in 1 year.Dude your bloody mad for borrowing that much.If you have a buisness,then save up and buy it out of your buisness money if its turning over enough to warrant a massive loan like you make out.

How come the red book says that utes are worth as much as a sedan after 2 years, but are 10K cheaper to buy?! that's interesting.
