Hi
So after much consideration and finally getting some finances in order, i'm about to go start looking around for an F6. Anyone here want to recommend any dealers in Adelaide who are worth starting with? Or, consequently, should i just say f-it and have a look at dealers in vic? I did a search for dealerships and am up for more up to date info... Cheers John. |

Maughan Thiem
Port Road (or Mt Barker) Are the states biggest FPV sellers IIRC. What that means as far as price I don't know but that's better than going somewhere that has maybe 1 car they wont let you look at cos they think it's priceless. |

The only other one which has been missed in the posts above is Stillwell Ford.

Spent a whole week shopping for my GT-P in Adelaide late August.
Service & price varied from amazing to abysmal... don't really want to name names, but steer clear of any B.S. you might get. PM already sent with further details. |

Going from previous experience, and of course we have to be very careful how I inform you of this, I would not have any business with Stillwell Ford / Adtrans.
We have purchased BAGT and F6X from Jarvis Ford and the dealings with this dealership has been nothing but professional and positive. If you need a contact at Jarvis Ford, "pm" me and I'd be happy to forward you that information. |

I bought my GTP from Maughan Thiem, My wifes Focus from Adrian Brian Ford and my Territory from Stillwell Ford, I only went to Adrian Brian because of the dealer,Ted, he is a top guy and a top salesman, I bought from the rest because they had the car I wanted in the yard, there all pretty much on par, but Adrian Brian was a little more thorough with there paperwork and follow ups.

My local Ford dealer is offering 6 years/175,000 km warranty on all new Fords they are selling. I didn't even know it until reading all the documents came with my new ute last week. It is good to check up with current owners to find out which dealer provides good workshop services, salesmen are always nice, but good workshop back up is more important.

Don't know if I can name the dealer, let's say it is one of the only two Ford dealers in Canberra.

Thats where MT's is handy.....if you'll mod they're a bit friendlier than most.
