BA GT's now from 16k

[ZA-289]

Cheap way to get your hands on a GT. How low in price can they go before they start going back up? Especially when they'll stop being made soon.

[XR6T0Y]

Seen them cheaper than this. Think the lowest I have seen was 12k. Pretty rough though

[BHDOGS]

I doubt they will go up in value theres nothing special about the ba gt

It's not too often you get pinged but still manage to get one up: nice work. And then to be able to use it so fittingly. Love your style.

They said that about the XR, XT, XW, XY..................................

[XW-BAXR6T]

Imo they'll go cheaper then 10k me thinks. Its a joy toy for most, not rare now till maybe after a decade or so when they become rare & in demand they'll go up.

My 2 cents.

How many manual rear wheel drive v8 sedans will be available in australia in 5 years.

A ba gt it still a GT. Just because they didnt race them doesn't mean they wont appreciate. No point buying one for 12k with 200000kms. For 16k you get sub 100k

[Rob 351]

I luv em! Probably the toughest looking of the modern day GT Falcons & while they might not go as hard as a 335 or new GTS, they were very competitive with the HSV's of that era & imo very worthy of wearing that very famous badge, GT.
When the price is right I will add a BA GT manual to my garage & if they keep getting cheaper, all the better.

[GASWAGON]

Only way to appreciate is it would need to have low k's and be stored for at least 10 yrs!

Yes but would you buy one? Couldn't pay me enough to buy a pre 05 or so BOSS......

so throw some tensioners at them, diff bushes are consumables

im still waiting for all the rest of the mysterious doom and gloom internertz bs to **** up on mine

owned since new

Good value I reckon.
How many other 13 year old locally made cars are still commanding 16k.
Mind you - anything in that price range for an FPV would need to be looked at real careful.

I wonder how much the equivalent vintage F6 is averaging.

OK so all of a sudden your sub 20k GT is now up for about $3k worth of repairs. Not such good value if you have to fix design flaws just to keep it going?

Yeah but any performance car that is over 10 years old will require some cash spent on it.
Did you see the blog of a guy who bought an RS6 and spent over $25k in one year on it just on maintenance?

Post of the year.

Fancy buying a performance car that gets driven the way it's intended to be and not having to fix or replace anything after 10 years !

3k is not a lot of spondooly these days, well it is if you haven't got it I guess, but if your willing and handy with a spanner you could do it yourself pretty cheap I would imagine, shockers for my old lexus are over 4k, one bucket seat 4k, timing belt on some of these 4 cylanders are pretty pricey to do too,
once its done on the GT you shouldn't have to worry about it for years,
as for design flaw , the tensioners on the very nice and well respected Toyota 1uzfe v8 are changed every 100,000 ks with timing belt, water pump, leads ,distributor caps x 2..... not a cheap job either if your paying someone, GT is still a dirt cheap performance car imo.

Thats fine by me! An investment that gives enjoyment not headaches. ...

[XR Martin]

Biggest issue I see is keeping it original over the long term.
Parts are NLA already, so imagine in 10 years time.

I read on the interwebs that if you turn the radio wrong on a b-series they explode

Yes but only on the ones selling for 12k.

[Polyal]

Cheap BA GT with a new 5.8 alloy block and associated bits would be killer, most of them would be about due for a freshen up anyway.

Ha! then it wouldn't be a matching number car so should be able to buy it for $79.99.................

[XR Martin]

Having a look at HSVs, the Clubsport R8s of the same year arnt commanding much more.

You'll never work in this town again putting relevant facts like that in to a thread like this. Shame. Shame. Shame.
