Good luck finding a good car! I love mine... my previous car was a HSV Senator... and there is no way I'd go back to a Expensive Daewoo now Jack

Ha ha! You say that there is no good mopars out there, not for 27K but how about a 300C, or even the SRT8?? around 80K on road, but will smash anything fpv/hsv have on offer at the moment, in stock form anyway.. My cuz has had one on order since the start of the year, so should be able to go for a lap when it finally arrives. If your in SA you may know my uncle, he has the hemi orange 1971 Dodge Super Bee going around, has a 440 six pack (then stroked to around 490cu), with the ramcharger hood.. Mean car! Also many others mopars in the family too, another cuz has a 1997 Dodge Viper (yes in Adelaide!) Blue, white stripes, another 1971 Dodge Charger R/Tgenuine E55 770 340 Charger in lime light green (550+HP)a few big block valiants and the like..So yeah, maybe you know some of them? Cheers!

Don't be hell bent on finding one with stripes, most Ford dealers and other places will put them on for you. Premium sound is a must and will also help resale value and leather looks the goods but sometimes hard to find. The cosmetic differences between the mark 1 and mark 2 are hard to spot, the main being the wheels. Best bet to try a few dealers and see what they have and take a few for a drive.

Chargin Member 37 Member For: 20y 2m 28d Posted 11/03/07 11:56 PM Author Posted 11/03/07 11:56 PM Ill probably buy a T this week, but theres a few vasics Im not sure of. Firstly Ive got max 28k to spend but Ill probably aim for 25 or less. I want to mod the car to get into the 12's.OK...1: Premium sound means what? Is that how you get the bigger colour touch screen which is why everyone says its a must? Or is it just a sub and better soeakers etc?2: 4 speed auto.... all the BA's I see advertised have 4 speed autos, is that the only auto option on these? (I want auto) What does the 6 speed auto come on ? BF only?3: BA vs BF, I read the gearing is different so BF is quicker, by how much? What other differences are there? I probably cant afford a BF but Im interested to know.Im in Adelaide so if anyone knows of an XR6 in my price range...Id like to buy something already modded perhaps so I can save a little in the long run.

Yes for the BA the only auto option is the 4 speed. The 6 speed came along in the BF series3. It is faster but not sure by how much. Over the quarter, maybe half a second but I'm only guessing.

Colour TFT is not "touch" enabled.And Carsales has a private BA at reasonable price here.
