New Falcon anybody?

Vesper Martini · 20-10-2016, 11:40 AM

Now that no more Falcons are being produced I thought Id see if there were still a few new ones available.

A carsales search came up with 266 new Falcons available - which was mostly XR6 but there are still a few Sprints which apparently are going to be collectables..

Should I have been surprised when I saw 945 brand new 0 kilometre Territory's advertised?

For whatever reason I though the last few would have been made to order, and if people didn't get their orders in quickly they would miss out, guess I was wrong

Because there's still opportunity to get one of the last locally produced Fords!

A lot of those numbers are not physical cars. There are ads for each model in each colour that lead you to a dealer simply as a lead enquiry.

That said, it will be interesting to see if the existing stock goes stale and sits for ages or whether the public feel an end of era patriotism.

Yes they've always done that when you can potentially order a new car, & I'd expect that for a new Mondeo, could be they are just slow at removing the ads.

But I wouldn't be impressed if they didn't have what they are advertising.

Or.... The dealers are prepared to do good discounted deals to clear what stock they may have left and put their money into stock that is moving better.

I think most Ford dealers just want to forget as quickly as possible about the "Falcon Era" and move on.

Ford Australia website still has the Falcon!!! and you can build a new Falcon,!!!

DR650 · 20-10-2016, 10:01 PM

We ordered our G6E and picked the matching alloy spare option,class 4 towbar and slimline weather shields thinking there'd be no dramas.Once our dealer confirmed they could get the car they said the matching alloy option wasn't available as Ford locked all production options at the start of the year but we could buy it through the Parts dept for $650, $400 dearer than the advertised option on the Ford website.Towbar was no problems but the weather shields were unavailable due to an issue with the tinting on them at the last minute.
The dealer helped us out where they could and did a deal for us but when I asked Ford Australia why can't I have the options you advertise they weren't interested.
A week before we picked it up a lady from Ford rang offering us $1000 off a new Ranger or Territory,I said we'd already ordered a G6E and were waiting for it to be built and she said we should have spoken to Ford first and gotten a good deal on a new Ford.Then I explained that a G6E is a Ford.

Vesper Martini · 21-10-2016, 05:18 PM

Thats XR8's, and they were around $55k.

Not XR8 Sprints. Very different car.

They would be part of the dealer delivery kit that Ford supplies to the dealer for pre delivery.

Stefan · 26-10-2016, 08:12 AM

PFFT BS, why would they supply gloves.

The towie probably left them on the bonnet while filling out the paperwork and d!ckheads on forums are now looking for Ford pre delivery gloves.

Soon the local GT hops will start selling predelivery gloves too...

There is one born every minute.

Seeing things like this make me mad. If i was in a financial position to buy a new sprint i would have, but being in the last year of my university degree that's out of the question. Saving almost every penny through part time work for 4 years i was able to save up enough and purchased a second hand FG F6 recently. Would have loved the opportunity to buy a new Falcon at some stage, if only the Falcon could hold on for a few more years

. however i cant complain. That sprint looks so nice though. Could have been owned by someone whod actually appreciate it and not just buy it for a quick flip for profit....

So exactly how many cars have you pre delivered??

So you saying everyone apart from you is a ********??

May be check your bathroom mirror....

Syndrome · 27-10-2016, 01:18 AM

I am still debating if I should buy a new FG X.......................................

**Professor Farnsworth** · 27-10-2016, 07:14 AM

What's to debate?

Stefan · 27-10-2016, 07:45 AM

Lucky the towie wasn't eating a Kit Kat and dropped the wrapper while delivering the car, some people would be convinced there is pre-delivery chocolate.

**Cav** · 27-10-2016, 09:42 AM

Ah, I have a slight problem. New place has only a covered carport. I have 4 cars and a caravan . While I can easily store the caravan off site, it looks like a couple of cars have to go - but which ones?
