Is it worth the extra $4.000?Also get free GuthrieHolden Warranty(because I'm buying from a Expensive Daewoo dealer) which is 3 years from purchase date or 175.000k's which covers replacement of EVERYTHING but Tyres, brakepads and wear and tear comes with all cars they sell for free.What do you think this 03 XR6T is really worth? should I buy it or what?Cheers...Jason Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/27840-upgrading-to-a-ba/page/6/#findComment-425651 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting close to a 4 year old car. If I was in your position - I would be buying a newer one for that money.though - the ks are definately low - one of the lowest I have seen for an 03. There are heaps of 03s on the market now - must be as they are outside their warranty. PS - you can extend Ford warranties, which I would have thought better than a Expensive Daewoo Dealership warranty for a Falcon.http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...on-62214125.htmRing these guys up - offer them $35k - more... but brand new.

Have to get five star alarm2. Has to be in a locked garage (I have carport with locked gates across it)But they put me onto Insurance Direct still need 5 star alarm which Ill have to get but carport is cooloh and both said no one under 25 but that's cooland its only $5 a week more than I pay nowFinance sorted...All I need now is the XR6T.....

cobrav8 Member 1,969 Member For: 20y 1m 13d Gender: Male Location: New Zealand Posted 24/08/06 11:47 PM Share Posted 24/08/06 11:47 PM I drive around 80km each day, roughly get about 470 km out of a tank of fuel (around $110 per tank).The readings on the car say that I average around 50 - 60 km/h, and around 13l/ 100km.I drive from Upper Hutt to Wellington and back each day. This is on a SH2 and SH1 roads, so... plenty of traffic, but moving, a few traffic lights and a bit of stop start traffic at interchanges etc.Fuel economy is much better on a long trip. though... I couldnt tell you what it is - just better.If you are worried about fuel economy - get a smaller car, Focus XR5 Turbo (though I doubt there are second hand ones yet) or something like that. Failing that - buy a Subaru WRX STI?I like my XR6T, wouldnt trade it for many things, and just accept the extra fuel costs as part of the cost of owning a neat car.
