it's a tough choice for me really, i feel strangely unique driving an AU. and the BA seems such a different car to drive, not that thats a bad thing. if i had a choice, id have both

Had a good look at one the other day ... and I must admit a damn nice vehicle ... except Toyota forget to finish things ... my auto electrician gets brand new vehicles sent to them to fix problems direct from factory (electrical connectors not being plugged in for the airbag system and the like).

Other than that ... they are a very polished vehicle ... for a Toyota ... I wouldn't mind owning one.

I won't be selling mine for a long time, however i'd love to get a T-series. I'd also love to get a Typhoon, but they are becoming fairly common. I like having a car that you don't see everyday.

I'd never sell my au atleast I love the fact that seeing another car the same as mine is rare really rare.

Sure did
The presara is great a very modern car and pretty well built. its quick too! do not take them on lightly because at street legal speeds you will be surprised.

The worst part is I miss the Forums the Toyota forums are crap.

Anyway i got it so I could stop playing with cars and that worked. i did ask the TRD guys about a supercharger kit and its possible but too much nannying software has to be disabled and well i am past it now I reckon.

I work for a Ford Dealer and I currently OWN a nice AU XR6 series 1. If the day came where I would be tempted to do away with my Lucifer, a nice BA or BF XR6 would replace it.
Twio reasons, 1: I am a big bloke and Jap cars have insufficient room inside them and 2:I can get my parts cheap

Good papa, when you are done with the AU, give it to me. I'm hoping to have a matching pair one day. Is it galaxy blue??

I am myself now considering putting my immaculate XR6 on the market. I have a Mercedes van (my own business) and I can't bear to see what my wife does to the XR6! I'm thinking dents, scratches and of course lipstick on the leather! I would probably buy a Toyota Aurion or similar, something we can both drive but she enjoy!

Thumbs up

Hopefully there are a few more days left in this one but when the bum does finally fall out I will be looking for slightly younger Falcon wagon.

The wagon meets my varied transport needs and I just like the Ford Falcon approach to cars - inside and out.

The only reason I would ever sell my AU would be to get a S2 or S3.
