Default What did you pay for your BA XR8 Ute?
Hi ppl,

what did you pay to get your XR8 ute on the road and what options did you get?

I wanna get one so just curious at how much haggling can be done.

Seems to add up to a fair it once you start optioning one up.

Thanks.

If you are prepared to take dealer stock you will get a better deal...
If you’re in Melbourne call Sath at Strapp Ford no: 1 deals there...
If your in Sydney call the Ratt or send him a PM they also do good deals at Peter Warren Ford.
I got mine back in 2003, so my price wouldn't be a good guide.

Hi Dave, the 18'' alloys are now standard on the XR8 Sedan, i think the ute missed out on this upgrade..

XR utes come with Free 18s / Leather and Sports Steering wheel for a limited time :sm_headba

Expect to pay about $40,000 for a stock XR8 ute.
