Should I Buy This Xr6T (Merged Topic)

reasonable drive out to horsham to find out it's mechanically thrashed

I will take a stab and say it has been down the horsham equivalent of princess highway more than a few times. I will pass on that one :D

thoughts on this one?

guy is a mechanic and it has full history. No leather or sunroof but could always put those in.

Take off the price of getting the diff bushes done and maybe a bit extra for damaged wheels and higher km then it looks pretty good.

 

Ask for the rest of the exhaust too cos who wants a car that sounds like a truck with an exhaust flange leak?

 

Worth looking at I reckon.

No putting in leather and sunroof aftermarket... Looks ok, upgrade edition is decent but why does the boost solenoid need to be replaced 'soon' its a $40 part and 5 minute job to replace and he is a mechanic... Diff bush is a pain or $. Who wants a genuine transmission cooler? 2c

 

oops hang on just saw the k's oh well

I wondered that too.

Why no putting in leather and sunroof aftermarket? It is near on impossible finding a decent car with a sunroof. Leather more achievable though.

 

appreciate the input guys. Trying to avoid a landmine of a car and you guys are certainly helping.

It devalues the car $$$ and status, street cred lol

I am buying it to keep it for a fair amount of time. Will end up putting both in if the car does not have them factory regardless.
