About To Take The Plunge

[Lightning]

Hi all, my first post here. Just thought I'd register, as I've been lurking for a while and I think I'm about to sign up for a XR6T, manual, sunroof, leather, Mercury Silver, premium sound and a few other little things.

Have been looking around here for a while and look forward to chatting with you more. I usually hang out in fordforums.com and will probably keep that as my primary site, but will visit this site frequently too.

Keep up the good work.

Oh, this is what I have now:

Nov 2000 XR6, AUII, VCT, Manual, White, Sunroof, Premium Brake Kit, Leather Trim, Momo Steering Wheel, Momo Gear knob, 5x 17" wheels, Premium Sound and last, but not least, Body Kit - Woohoo, I love it!!

Good stuff and welcome aboard! Nice to see another XR6T owner!

Awesome dude.

Excellent choice,

We had a Silhouette XR-VCT sedan, 2002 build. Paid off the baloon and got a trade in for $32,500. Starting the 5 year debt from scratch, saves us roughly $70 a fortnight. It all counts.

Going for just the standard BA- XR6 but with LSD, prem. sound, rear power windows, xr scuff plates, moulded floor mats...etc, etc, cheaper and better then the old girl so it's all good. Feel the need for a little more cash as we are choking a bit fund wise

Good deduction. Someone had already taken BAXR6T

I'll probably change AUIIXR6 to this signon when I sign up!

Spoke to the dealer today. Will think about today, get some competitive financing pricing (9% with Ford Credit), get some insurance quotes ($1074 with existing insurer, which is quite good) and have another sleepless night.

I'm teetering about the steering wheel and the leather, but the dealer reminded me that I can change that right up until the build date, some time in February, so that's a valid point. Trying to find piccies of the momo, sports and standard in decent sizes. I also want the Ghia leather.

I strongly suggest I'll give them a verbal go-ahead tomorrow

I'm slightly worse off. I got quoted $30K for mine (would have gone to $32K, but we're taking 2 off the purchase instead). Reducing the balloon on this one by $5K means I pay an extra $200 pm which is achievable, and I get a new car (my first).

Good luck... you'll love it... coming from an AUXR8 (200kW)... this car is worth every cent!
