I just got an email from newdiscountcars.com and it had new 05 MKII XR6T's for $39k, prolly NOT including onroads or any options though

G'Day all, today I received a call from local Ford dealer saying they have a,

Ba Typhoon MII - Built Dec 04 - Lightingstrike - 11,000km for $47,000

They have not yet seen my car. I'll be going in this Thrusday to negotiate.

Does this sound real and a good price?

Check it out, sounds good, providing it's in good nic. Go for it See what they do for your trade. Think what you would pay for the car and what you would accept as a trade. Have your "change over" amount set in your mind but aim for less of a change over figure. Either that or name your terms so they know not to mess you around.

Good luck.

yeh only look at the CHANGEOVER figure.. trade in means nothing really..

he could offer you $100K trade in for your car but want $150K for the Phoon/T etc..

Oh and another thing that I have noticed - when you first ask price, ask no less than 3 times if that includes all onroad costs !!!

last time I was car shopping, almost every dealer pulled that trick of giving me a driveaway price (which I confirmed multiple times) then when it came time to sign after all the haggling etc said "oh sorry sir, that wasnt driveaway"... which then made it walk out of there time.

Stillwell Ford in Adelaide are advertising Mk2 XR8's for 41,900 inc on road ie drive awayNot sure if they are brand new or demo's.Seems like pretty good value either way.

Thanks heaps XR6TU, I'll take all the info into acccount that you've given to me and that goes for everyone else that offered me advice.

Thanks people

I'll post back after with the outcome hopefully the dealer doesn't me off

or I'll be driving out a man. If not they can kiss my .

Cheers

Hope it all goes well.

I bought my run out BA2 XR6 Turbo a couple of months ago (Nov 05) for $36,340 plus stamp duty (which is $3000 in WA ) plus rego (600). Just under 40k on the road, or about 25% discount off RRP. I didn't have a trade in.

Its a newie (not a demo) and is pretty much a stocker.

This was the advertised price in the local paper - probably could have got it cheaper still if I'd haggled with any enthusiasm.

Hello all, I have to report back with some good and bad news.

Think I'll start with the bad. Well it's not to be. I followed XR6TU advice and many others, but I stuck to my guns and didn't budge with the trade in difference and so did the sales man, but I did get them to throw in Mats - Sports Steering Wheel - and a Track Day plus transfer fee.

After all of this they came back with a change over price of $27,000 but that was no where near what I was hoping for. Never mind I'll just have to wait I guess.

Now to the good news. OMG what a car! I have never expreience anything like that before. It was beautiful car to drive in every aspect. Now I can see why all the Typhoon owners love it so much. Now I really do want one.

Once again thanks heaps everyone.

They are damn nice. Was soo hard to say no the the 2nd hand Typhoon I was looking at as , what a special car that was

"Azul" will just have to do nicely. Least I scored the Lux. pack and a few other goodies with this one. Just need a nice "AHEM" tune and all will be sweet.
