Was driving past my local Ford dealer and something caught my eye.
A Blueprint XR6 Turbo to be exact. It is a Feb 03 model with 43,000 on the clock. Asking price is $29,888 Is this a reasonable price? and is there anything I should be aware of when buying a secondhand turbo. I noticed some standard XR6's in the yard similar age and km's for around 33K. This makes me wonder why the Turbo is cheaper. |

For that age I would think the price may be a little high.
Secondly, if there are similar aged XR6s in that yard for 33K, they are excessively high! |

$33K is a little high for 2nd hand XR6 standards.. I picked up mine brand new for $35K, when I was searching I saw XR6T's secondhand for between 26-29k 03 I think..

an 03 sedan XR6t should be about $26k i wouldnt pay much more.
i guess it could have some good options on it? leather etc? that would bump the price up. it should be under warranty but id still get nrma (or someone like that) to check it out.

The car is as far as I can see a stock XR6 Turbo, I gather so far that the price is a little high.
