benzau Member 38 Member For: 16y 6m 14d Posted 16/01/09 04:35 AM Share Posted 16/01/09 04:35 AM I picked up my '07 6T with 21,000km on it for $21,600 3 months ago.Ex cop car, ZF 6 Speed.. Spent $150 on new trim pieces, and you'd never pick it now except for the NSW POLICE sticker on the windscreen/door/boot...Drives extremely tight, even the dealer couldn't beleive it when I got it serviced.

smicky Go Pies!!! Donating Members 2,852 Member For: 17y 3m 1d Gender: Male Location: Vic Somewhere - Sometimes NSW Posted 16/01/09 09:48 AM Share Posted 16/01/09 09:48 AM (edited) is that a big ass stain on the passenger seat?Mate that's part of the seat trim - if your referring to the darker grey area in the middle... And I think I would agree with IB... While the expectation for it being driven harder the a pro in the cross on a good night, I would imagine that they are serviced on time, well maintained etc... so maybe not such a bad buy...and there is still warranty so you just need to make sure any and all little areas of concern need to be check and replaced by a dealer I guess...

Sure everyone knocks them but im yet to hear any horror stories, but in saying that here they will come.I.B.I've seen a thread on this on another forum from someone with a QLD ex-highway phoon, they had a huge list of things, none of them to major, and barely noticeable, but once you know they are there they get to you. It included things like the bonnet being a different shade of red, the insert in the front bar was the wrong colour etc Edited 16/01/09 10:12 AM by henz Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/42211-are-ex-cop-xr6-turbos-a-good-buy/page/9/#findComment-804297 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broaders77 Member 73 Member For: 16y 9m 28d Posted 18/02/09 04:47 AM Share Posted 18/02/09 04:47 AM quick bump - the 11/05 chaser I bought last year is still going pretty well. So far Ford have completely replaced the front steering arms and one of the shocks under warranty and I've had the o2 sensor replaced out of warranty. Other than that no dramas at all.Who else has bought ex-chasers in the past couple of years? Good news or bad?

The circumstances of high k's or any damage im not familiar with but the price appears amazing.I.B.

thorxr6t Member 91 Member For: 21y 1m 3d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 06/03/09 04:34 AM Share Posted 06/03/09 04:34 AM ex-chasers are very good value for money. You need to check/inspect the car throughly though. I had a ex-cop vn v8 multiple decades back. Found out later that some of it's suspention components were actually bent! But I got so cheap and within my budget!
