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. :

Do you want manual or auto?
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 ^^ It has bodykit, so worth a bit more maybe.

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.

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.

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.

Oh ok, cool.
Well I guess i'll find out. As I've only heard of AUI manual owners with the problem so far.

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 |
