I must admit that i sell new Fords not used cars so its not as bad... chuckle. anyway i really wanted to know of any stories bad or good that you have had in a dealership, always fun to read them.
i have plenty.. lol. i dont know if i should own up to all of them though.
any way this should be fun..

For some reason, all people in sales have bad reputation. I actually had more bad experiences when buying a vacuum cleaner then a car.

And the liberty 3.0R wagon was around the same as the SS and Xr6t



So i really only compared 2 models from ford and holden within 5k of each other, and my best mate drives a new Liberty 3.0R Spec B wagon and thats one hell of a nice car so the wife wanted to look into that as well.



Trying to weigh up, as much as i want one, weather or not to get an SS/Xr6t because monday to friday she drives to work in melb - about a 250km round trip each day so fuel economy is a consideration. As is the increased rego, insurance and servicing. It'll do 1500 + km per week.


The Navara was to possibly be an upgrade for my ute, made a brief enquiry on a hilux too, but the equivalent to the navara was 10k more. So didnt even bother with a brochure on that one!

Mate those prices you have quoted above are ratshit, theres huge discounts on XR6 Turbos ate the moment, i think you could get a turbo for 39000 drive away, BFII late 06 build.
