[shepv8]

Am probably going to sell the car. Its:

11/98 AU1 XR8
78,000 kms
5 sp manual
Silloutte black
Cruise control
17in Tickford rims
Lukey 3 in cat back exhaust
K&N panel filter
Flash tuner with bluepower tune ( price depends on if you want the flasher)
10 months rego
new Kumho Ecsta tyres
Just had gearbox oil done ( transmax ), engine oil, filter etc.
JVC cd stereo, with sony amp and boston acoustic / jbl 7 X 5's speakers.

The car is very immaculate, fairly low kays for its age. Only a few stone chips and the interior is unmarked.
Is $15,000 too much???

What do you guys reckon ,as Ill be putting in the classified section very soon.

$15,000 would be a good price to target in your ad because it's got good km's on it and a few extras. Expect that with fuel prices the way they are though, and normal depreciation trends you might try to get talked down a bit.. I'd put $15k and take $14k if it came to it. my 2c

I know ford knock off a couple of grand but I went to sell my AU1 XR8 back to Ford 2 years ago and the max they were paying was $15,000 back then. I ended up selling for $13500. The cheapest AU XR8 I have seen so far is $9000. But that had a lot of k's.

yeah ,obviously the fuel thing is going to hurt V8 sales at the moment,
but I think whoever buys it will be someone who is looking for this particular car and isnt worried too much about fuel prices.
Its funny the way people think. Personally, I think a car car with low kays isnt really worth a heap more than a similar , high km model. The lower kays just make it more desirable to the prospective buyer.
$13,500!!!! sheeeeeesh
It really is a good example so hopefully someone out there is looking for a car in this condition.
