Ba Xt Or Futura?

[HugeRambo]

Hi

looking at buying a N/A ford falcon, cant afford an XR6 though.

options that I like seem to be either a 2004 BA Falcon XT with 41000kms or a 2005 BA Futura with 62000kms as they are both the same price.

have driven a futura but not an xt. is there much difference?

doesn't seem to be a great deal from what I saw when checking them out today, so considering going for the lower kays xt.

any thoughts guys?

cheers,

Andy.

welcome to the site HR.

wouldnt have a clue on the differences... I would go with the one that has lower k's.

Are the both BA MkII's or only the Futura?

im pretty sure they are both straight BA MkIs even though the Futura was first registered in 2005

I am tempted to go with the xt, because although the futura has alloys, I will change them anyway, so other than that I cant recall much difference

I would be scraping as much money together as possible and buying an XR6 or an XR6 Turbo - even if it meant borrowing some more.

unfortunately as a student that isnt feasible.

by the same token if I really want an xr6t, which I do, I only have to wait until the end of next year when I will be working full time.

Not much differance between the XT and the Futura, just the alloys and rear power windows. Are there any extra that come with ether car that would make a difference say premium sound.

just make sure you're getting a good deal on the car you buy.. so you won't get hurt too bad on resale if you upgrade to the xr6t later.

about $13k sounds right for cars at that spec with those k's

no both have std basic sound and ICC.

on these replies it looks like the xt is going to be the winner because of the low kays.

now just have to wait until the middle of the week to get back from camping to go buy it.

go the xt
