Last ever Ford Falcon Ute leaves Broadmeadows

[masda74]

Might have to drive to Radelaide to get fitted and supplied.

Assuming he isn't too picky and won't accept this customer.

All good Ralph. I know you weren't having a dig mate.

I think it's more a sign of the times, a mate who owned a 6.0 calais VE traded it for a CX9. And he also has a 2014 F6 bought brand new and he's thinking of getting rid of that to buy something similar to the mazda. Brand loyalty died along time ago me thinks....

I can honestly say all my car's have been second hand, I just never had the earning ability to buy new.  As it is the car I currently have, although I have admittedly had to fix some things on it the previous owner did, was too good a bargain for what I paid for it, I believe.

 

The last time I went through a dealer, I got all the usual things thrown at me like "extended warranties", that aren't worth anything when you consider what they cover for what you pay, plus there's what consumer law covers you for anyway, which pretty much put me off going to dealers.

Ive brought a LTZ Colorado new and a Redline new, 

Only other car I brought new is the current family car Outlander VRX 

But hoping the xr ute gains value one day when im 302yrs old lol

The only good thing to can come out of the situation is the fact if the yanks decided to pull Holden/GM and Ford from our country so they could sell more of there own manufactured vehicles on our soil, we will finally get the American muscle cars like the mustang (already here ) corvette or even the Dodge Challenger and Charger Hellcat editions. 

Maybe.

F150 Raptor too... :D

 

cops have one but now you can buy them. Guy took delivery of the first a few weeks back. See if I can find the article, I think they are doing 250 in RHD but they are close to 300k on the road.... :(

 

edit:-

Quote

The F-150 range begins from $US26,540 in North America (for the regular-cab XL) with the Lariat 4x4 Crew Cab retailing from $US70,000. Fully converted in Australia, the latter model costs $A149,990, with the F-150 Black Ops model detailed above selling for $175,990. The full-noise Shelby-enhanced model sold for “just shy of $230,000”.

I thought the whole point of killing the local manufacturing industry was to get cheaper cars?

Good point. Whats a Santa Fe worth $55,000. Toyota Klugger about the same. Let's see what the new Opelodore is gonna be worth. $54,000 plus on roads.

I'd be buying a Mustang V8 for that money...but my wants and needs are quite different
