Great info!

I hopefully get mine on sat, it seems like its had a lot of those areas attended to which eases my mind a bit!

Had coil packs, tps, brakes & heavy duty clutch already done.

I know it's a t5z, but I'm not going chasing power so it should be sufficient.... Touch wood...

I had a bf xr8 until I took a ba f6 for a drive. A week later I owned the f6. The ONLY thing I miss about the xr8 is the sunroof. but yeah I agree with everyone saying to sell and buy a different one. It sounds like your doing the other person to much of a favour..

Hey people I'm looking into buying a manual bf mk2 xr6 turbo and I'm trying to find out how many k's are to much? and what's a good amount?

I love to get as low as possible but is 80,000k too many any help?

I will be doing work on the car in the range of 350 to 400rwkw.

Cheers

80000s fine. I personally couldn't bring myself to buy something with over 100 though.

Some guys are running upwards of 170,000kms on their T's so they can go for a while with the right maintenance. Bit like yourself and henz though, wouldn't want to get too close to 100,000kms. 80,000 is fine, especially if you go to 400rwkw you'll be replacing a lot of things anyway

How the Kms are clocked up are Important too. I've clocked up lots of Kms on all cars I've had and the cars have been well looked after and tbh had a pretty easy life. I'd rather 100k Kms of highway compared to 80k Kms of city driving. If the k s are clocked up quickly you could hope it has been from long cruisy drives rather than zipping around the city. Hopefully there's other ways to tell if they have racked up the Kms on the hwy too, eg live outta town or whatever.

Just my 2.4198c inc gst and carbon tax :P

lol all bushs, brakes replaced bt me a month ago, power steering pump replaced by me mate who owned it before me, and turbo was replaced by ford about 3-4 years ago ( roughly 70 000 k;s ago) cost the previous owner 8k.

fuel pump seems to be going good lol
