Saw this today and it reminded me of the original post of the high priced silver AUXR8.

That’s what I said about XB GTs in 2003. Two years later I paid 100% more.

What are you doing in here mate, are you a closet AU hugger?

A car with a high asking price is not evidence of the high value of the car.

It is a claim by the seller that in his opinion his car is worth this much.

This has the double effect of people after a bargain looking elsewhere and at the same time attracting buyers who for whatever reason like these ugly AU Falcons.

It's only stupid if you don't own one.

Tell him he's dreaming. I can get a mint G6E Turbo with similar k's to this for 20k. And I know which one will be more of a collectable.

Do some people see someone try to sell one for an expensive price so instantly think their's is worth the same?

I know which one id buy and it doesnt have 6 cylinders. Hard to comment on which may be worth more FWIW i reckon the AU will be.

Each to their own. But AU v8’s are slugs even in tickford form. Drive nice though.

Probably the best handling xr’s too.

Oh yeah it would t be as quick as a turbo. But I reckon it would probably drive better. My T2 was heaps of fun.

I don't think he's too far of the money.
If that's the model you really wanted, trying to find one that is in top condition with low km's is getting very hard.
I cant say by looking at the crap photo's if it's actually good or not though !

I started the post as a follow up to the original one. If your not a fan of the AU, there are other posts that deal with opinions on the design. Let's stick to the topic please folks which is about current prices, not if you don't like them.

Yes lads play nice or I will put on my Mod hat. We all like what we like, cars, houses, footy teams. Back to the thread starter the price....
I own an AU XR8 but I wouldn't pay that much for one (mind you I thought mine was a bargain when I got it)
Look at TE/TS/TL 50's in the same range.
Car has to be over 30 years old for Historic rego so you would have to wait a bit before that's an option.

Plus a couple hundred dollars to get the bonnet re-sprayed, unless you like the matt Black finish.
