Red face Xr6t Ordered Also

Hi guys.

Ordered my new transportation device the other day.

Lightening strike XR6T manual.

Premium sound, alloy spare, dashmat, mudspats, floormats, tow pack and delivered drive away for $46600.

Only problem is I've gotta wait till the middle of June before I can take delivery.

The anticipation is nerve racking!!

yeah mate talking FG, I know he's been dealing with two of them, making them compete for his business, I think one of them was Mcinerney ford and the other was Lynford, I think Mcinerney won in the end..

Wink Price of FG XR6T

Kice.

I wouldn't be complaining if I was you.

No one made you pay rrp for anything. You just agreed to.

From memory you got a hot deal for the options you had fitted anyway.

Either that or you got your maths wrong.

I bought mine in the NT so stamp duty was a big saving.
About $1500 ish.

Also the dealer I bought from is only 500kms from where I live as opposed to 3000kms if I bought one from Perth.

I don't think you want to break a contract like that at your age anyway. Your credit rating will not look good being so young, and if you keep looking at buying cars that expensive/powerful you'll only cost yourself in the long run.

If I was you mate, I'd be happy with the savings after you had all the options fitted and having a brand new performance car at your age is a blessing that only some of us dreamt about when we were that young.

Chin up mate. I think you'll be very impressed when you get your new ride.

I think I've said it before, but I'll say it again anyway, please don't crash it as the outcomes will have a flow on effect on everyone's insurance.

Good luck though. : ;)

Default Fg Xr6t

Kice.

Can you list all the options you had fitted to your car.

I've looked at all your previous posts and some things don't make sense.

Looking on the Ford website $55k is about right for what you have sort of listed.

that just leaves tints, hid and fuel question.
You can buy the DJR lip spoiler when they come out and it will use the same holes as the factory one.

Word of advice keep it legal as it too much money to have insurance and warranty issue.I spose I'm saying be thankful for what you have.I'm a dad with 22 year old son.Well done though hope you have as much fun as I have with mine : 64k on it now with 230 RWKW at the flick of a switch.

cheers

so far the 5th dimension package has saved me over $1000 in repairing small dents/scratches etc.

I dont have to polish the car just keep it clean and it adds extra protection against rust. I'll step out and recommend it to anyone.

Edit: No i dont work for Ford.
