New Fg Xr6t Drive Away Price

[-MARTY54-]

Retail for the XR8 w/sports pack would be nearly 45k... 41k isn't that bad. You'll find dealers can vary a lot. It depends what they are trying to move at a certain time... that's

why your better off being patient if you can.

Those prices seem fairly good I.M.O

This is the quote I got without any ford or friends discounts-just dealer discount

FG XR6T UTE white,auto,leather,sports pack,rubber mats,flat hard cover,alarm $45350 D/A includes business rego

I have the sheet in front of me(staff discount for friends).

XR6T Sedan(M) - 35,447

You've got to be kidding?! An FG XR6 Turbo for $35,447? I thought RRP was $10,000 more at least, not including on roads and stuff. I mean, second hand FG XR6 Turbo's, 2008 are going for $36k - $40k+ That's gonna blow the resale value out of the water!

XR6T Sedan(M) - 35,447

Ford staff and friend discounts kick arse, I'd probably take one too if it weren't for the dreaded P plate restrictions.

So all I have to do is buddy up to someone at Ford huh...hmmm...

Unfortunately (of course, it depends how hard dealers look for you), I called several ford dealers in Melbourne and Sydney regarding this friendship deal.

Firstly, the deal applies to only cars built pre-April. So if you want a new one built from factory, forget about it. It won't apply. This is what ALL dealers told me.

Secondly, the only one I could find in Melbourne was a Nitro (light blue) XR6T sedan with NO factory options, not even the colored screen.

Unfortunately, I caved in and bought an ex-demo car locally, was pretty cheap, but no where near the friendship price.

I'd say you guys better go hunting in a few different cities, Australia wide, to find a car under the friendship deal, and don't be picky about it either. If you want it at that price, you'll get what you get.

[Mish]

That sounds about fair to me...I wonder if they'll be doing this next year when I'm looking!

Do you don't actually have to have a friend there...they'll just do a friendship deal?

[-MARTY54-]

Direct family members of Ford employees always get the discount, for that your required to have the staff member sign a form to authorise it. I'd imagine this friends deal would be the same... authorisation required.

Economic forecasting suggests perhaps things won't be as bad in 2010(friend deal doubtful), you may however pickup a run-out FG when the FG MkII comes out mid next year.

[Mish]

Unless run-out deals are in the same range as the friends deal, we're gonna have to stick to 2nd hand. The more I look at it, the more I like the FG! I wonder how much better the MK II will be, but when you're working on a budget, you have to get what you can afford!

Ford staff get 24.5% off RRP

However on FPV's and cars that a euro build you only get 12%.
