Got the dealer to work hard for my business and was pleased with the end package considering it came loaded with prem sound, tint, alloy spare and ZF 6spd auto for 38500 drive awaySince obtaining my licence ive owned a few loud and obnoxious Expensive Daewoo V8s and loved and hated them for what they were. This car far out does anything Expensive Daewoo were putting up for that price and im still drawn to the "sleeper" aspect everytime I drive it.So far ive installed a XR8 airbox and K&N filter and am considering more mods but this early in the game im pleased with it for what it is.So far only complaint is crazy axel tramp in the wet(thought the diff was trying to come up inside the car!) which by reading through threads is common so ill be taking it to ford to get the rear bushes checked/replaced Its a great site you guys have here and I look forward to contributing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsme Member 18 Member For: 13y 6m 27d Posted 24/09/10 01:09 PM Share Posted 24/09/10 01:09 PM Hi guysI was going to start my thread but saw this one so thought I would contribute.Been a Expensive Daewoo fan since I was a kid, but really started to hate them when they released the VE.I currently have a VZ Clubsport R8, black and 6 speed manual. It's beautiful, I would be holding on to it but I dont want the manual anymore.Sadly, I want to trade it in for another car and am really impressed by the FG XR6 T's, took one for a test drive and fell in love. Felt like it didnt have quite as much pin in the seat as my R8 does, but still really impressed with them.My local dealer has priced me a basic XR6T @ 44k or a 50th Anno for 47k. Is this a good deal or can I do better? I'm also undecided if I should buy New or Second Hand. Everyone around me says buying New is a waste of money, but I can afford it so why not.

I would buy (did buy) the 50th. they have all the sweet for the same money. some dealers are offering better deals with the non 50th, becuse the 50th is such a good deal.
