Default Have you purchased a Ford in the last 12 months??

With all the debates raging about Ford sales, I think it would be useful to see what the stats look like from forum members.

Nope. Was 5 and a half years ago and it was a demo. I assume you mean you are curious about brand new sales stats?

Although it woud have been about 12 months ago I bought my weekender / project Fairmont, and about 3 months since I re-sold it. But once again not new (very far from it, it was an EB).

Shouldnt there be an FPV option to pick from the poll?

I wouldnt consider a base Falcon or close to it in a million years, but do want to buy a used FG F6 or Fg GT. Whilst I know they are just upspecced Falcons at the end of the day, but surely it will distort the figures to have them all wrapped up as one as the buyers are completely different"!?

Wish I could vote twice?!

We bought a used FG XR6 sedan in awesome Nitro with all the boxes ticked last April. I'm also hoping / thinking that by years end an FG2 manual FPV GS Ute in winter white could be in the garage...

Funnily enough, I checked the insurance yesterday on an FG2 FPV GS Ute. Even with an ECU tune it is under $1000 through AAMI with basic excess. Compare $50k ute with 340rwkW to $6k ute with 135rwkW. Not much difference in premium. How cool is that? One less ownership hurdle

PS This thread is not about insurance!

i had an opportunity to buy a GS this year and i was very seriously thinking about it, but it would put the household into the poor box , so it`s just not happening, a low price/k`s territory or a low k v8 falcon /fairlane is on the horizon at the moment..
