Bargain AUIII XR8

RG · 21-11-2007, 02:16 PM

I don't usually post up ebay links like this but I thought this one to be an exception. Venom Red 92k and looks pretty good in the pics, at 10k atm with NO reserve.

Yeah I saw this the other day on a work trip. Interior is immaculate, and the body has now marks on it that I could see. Even the front pods on it were unmarked, which is uncommon for this area (everyone I see with this bodykit has the pods either grazed badly or removed)

And for the money it'd be nice...but I'm broke, so the six will have to do (for now :evil3: )

Nice car must be desperate to sell.

Gotta be some thing wrong with it or they dont know what they have

I spoke to the owners son the other day about the car,The mother drives it only as the father has a BA xr8,its had a diff replaced under warranty,all serviced,well looked after come from a ford loving family it sounds like,If it wasnt so for down,I was going to look at it.
It was advertised for $17k on a local classifieds site from memory and the guy said I dont expect to pay that for it.

He sent me a photo of every panel and it looks very tidy from the photos.

Its worth a look if your in the area.

If comes from a Ford loving family and only 92,000Kms they would know the value of the car.
So the only thing I can think of is the car has money owing on it and has not a clear title or it really is a bargin!

Either that, or most likely they've got a friend ready to dummy bid it up to it's real value...

Pfffttt! What's a plane ticket and a few hundred worth of towing or fuel if it does genuinely go for that price?!

you can actually see that the front drivers side pod is badly scraped/damaged in the pic on ebay

I came -> <- that close to bidding on it. Was thinking of going up to 14k but common sense prevailed. Timings not quite right and when it's all said and done I'd prefer one in blue and less kms.

Still, I'll keep an eye on ebay and see how it goes. Maybe I'll be tempted.

The_Ghost · 22-11-2007, 12:50 AM

meh, have a 5 spd so fo 10k the wifey can be lazy and leave mine 2 me muh ha ha ha ha

Red is better than blue, much better and it goes faster.

No I'm not at all biased I promise.

Yeah I noticed that when I saw the ebay link...I'm over there today and I'll check again...

Maybe that trip to the optometrist is overdue

fordAU · 22-11-2007, 11:01 AM

Why don't we all chip in 5 bucks and buy it.

A bit like a time share apartment on the Gold Coast, we all get to drive it for one week very year...

buickman · 22-11-2007, 05:31 PM

There is a sensible reserve of $15,000 now up.

And then again maybe I won't, lol.

I think that at <15k it's great buying.
>15k represents good to ok depending on how far above 15k it goes.

no longer available - looks like it was taken off sale around the time you made this post... would've been a good buy at $10k thats for sure
