Hi Guys, I just purchased my new ride today.
Original 66,500km's log books and all. Premium brakes Momo Steering wheel and Tbar Full leather 18 inch Speedy wheels with brand new Pirelli Tyres. I paid $10,000 but this is the best example AU XR8 I've seen, its's a gem. Check out the pics have I done good?         |

I've been looking for a while now and have test drove a few low Km's ones. This one is nice and tight and goes great.
The first owner had the car for 10 years and hardly drove it but got it serviced every year |

Just like mine...I have just clocked over 60,000klm's and it still drives like a dream, then again what AU doesn't.
Love your new XR8 mate, well done. |

Very nice mate. 10k is up there for these days but the quality and low Km's speak for themselves.
May I ask why it has the series 2 rear bumper extension but no side skirts or front pods? Looks smooth though.

Low kms, leather, momo bits, premium brakes... all the good options... I'd pay 10K for that!

I think the general consensus is most would be proud to have that fine example sitting in their drive and BHDOGS is out of touch with what it costs to buy quality in that model - and a great model it is

When I was looking for mine 2 years ago there was quite a few subtle levels of these cars ranging from very good down to very average. Some were priced accordingly and the rest were priced a little up or down on the average of the time. I know the big thing that sold me on mine was it was the nicest one Id seen by a hell of a long way, after negotiations it was in my budget and ticked the most important boxes bar one, the colour. And I compromised on that for the quality of the rest of the car.

You guys wouldnt want to know what people are asking for good condition au xrs over here in wa!!!
The light blue one in the for sale section here for 8g would go for at least 11-12g in perth,i think its worth to you what you are happy to pay for it. Personally i think the s2/3 au xr8/t series is still the nicest car ford has ever made(just my opinion) |

I've booked the old girl in for A Meguires spruce up it's not cheap at $450 but it will look better than brand new. All I need to do then is wash her in Meguires carwash. And then once a year get a polish
