So, a decent AUIII XR6 VCT (Auto or Manual) are around the $16 - 18k mark.

The ST's are holding their value really well... above $20k.

Dealers are still asking $21000 +. I am not paying that much. Seems to be some good deals still around. If that AU in Cowes was moonson Blue I'd check it out. :

Don't know about Monsoon blue, but Naroma blue - $15k
http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsa...ch_distance=25

Another Narooma Blue - $18k
http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsa...ch_distance=25

Monsoon Blue - $20k (Dealer)
http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsa...ch_distance=25

Thanks LG, the last one (Monsoon Blue) is in Perth.Dual fuel too! Iam looking for an auto. Just checked out carsales.com.au, must keep an eye on that site. I have been checking mainly the dealers (warranties) as I don't want someone elses problem but I might have to look at private and get an RACV check.

Just consider that AU2 (from 3/01 i think) got the bigger brakes and the laminated firewall upgrade that the Au 3 has
Might be worth considering if you find a nice AU2 XR6 VCT coz it would be almost identical apart from the ST which would be my personal pick of all the AU XR6 models
I reckon you could find yourself an ST for low 20s maybe even high teens at a dealer and get them to throw you in a Ford solutions 3 year extended warranty
Good luck with your search

I'm sitting here laughing to myself about how the tide has turned. 3 years ago the VCT was an orphan no one wanted and wass considered the "grandpa's XR6". Just amuses me to see how much it is now the "preferred" option in a lot of cases.

Can you explain a little bit further. All AU2 & AU3 got the bigger brakes. But was the firewall different from AU1/2 to AU3?

Thanks

Making them stronger?

Because I'm now a manual, I know I will eventually get a crack in my firewall. In say 100,000 - 150,000 kms. But if the AUII/III were re-inforced, maybe it solves this problem?

Thanks Casper.

No, not a strength thing, a sound thing. Better interior sound reduction.

They are a limited edition of the last AU3 XR6 VCTs called ST
They came with a very nice body kit (IMO)especially the rear bumper wich has a mesh insert plus 18 inch wheels a black leather interior and I think also sunroof as standard and in limited colors
I wish I had waited a little longer and got one as is often the case the last of any model run are the best for quality and value
