Hi everyone, I'm quite new here and need help in deciding whether or not I should buy an NA XR6 as my first car as I just got my P Plates the other day. I recently found a BA NA XR6 with sub 90,000Kms in great condition and I'm just wondering whether I should buy it or just get a cheap car to drive until I get my full license? as I know when I get my full license I'll want a turbo and probably want to upgrade the car past the performance level of a stock XR6T. I struggled to find much information on how much it would cost to make the car better than a turbo and whether or not its worth doing (although I'm willing to loose a bit of money if it means I can drive a falcon on my Ps), so any help would be appreciated😁

Even more reason haha

 

I don't expect you to follow my advice, but I've been there and converted an N/A and it was totally not worth it.

 

N/A falcons are heaps of fun and significantly less risky than a turbo variant on your restricted license/permit so you can go with aesthetic mods and enjoy the car as it is and learn to drive in a car that's less likely to get in you into significant trouble :)

haha yeah that's definitely food for thought, and I'm thinking now if I were to buy an NA for my Ps I'd only do basic reversible and transferable mods and try to somewhat hold the value, although I reckon I'd be putting a fair few Ks on it. Thanks for the help 😄
