I reckon its worth it.

I think people take too much notice of the statistics of a car like its age, odometer, and not enough notice of the way the cars been looked after, especially those who are looking to buying them.

[Miller]

Says on the page that it's an EB II.

Also compared to a lot of other EA-ED series falcon, it has lowish ks.

[needfordspeed]

I personally wouldn't pay $8k for it. It's only worth what someone will pay for it.

[-jjM-]

same i wouldnt pay 8 for an xr, even if it was an v8, but this thing is prity nice...

My friend is a mechanic, and people are asking drug money for cars at the moment.

LPG centers want around $3k for a basic LPG conversion since the rebate was announced.

A nice XR like that, depending on in person condition, is worth the money. I reckon they'd take $6k cash easy too.

If I was to sell mine, I'd ask for around $6k. Only because it's been looked after well, and has alot of extras.. Including LPG conversion.

i would like to ask that car back to my place for se><y time. looks awesome, but $8k is a lot

[frd_crzer]

due to me turning 18 soon im looking at buying an e series but i want to try and get one before i turn 18 then i can do some mods to it before i get my p's

[niko]

sunroof and any eseries in black paint that isn't rooted is rare...lol

i aggree with the guys here, offer them 6k

[mean & green]

i agree offer 6k,i paid 10k for my EL it has 100k on the odo and is mint

that one looks the goods go for it!

[frd_crzer]

i know it looks good but i dont know what the interior looks like i spose it should be ok

[Hybrid34]

8k is alot of money for an ed, i got my ED xr6 auto 174kms, very very clean, perfect paint n all that for $5,200.
You also gotta look where the location is and who is selling it, it may look good, but ifs its brought off the wrong person, it could have been thrashed about as it is an Xr6, so its probly been driven like one..

Oh by the way there was one on carsales a couple of weeks back for $6k, 202,000km, Blue, manual 1 lady owner, it was a caryard in fitzroy, ..not sure if its stil there...

[OED666]

dangerous thing about lady owners, many (not all) dont get their cars serviced.

whats worse, a car that gets a good ol clean out, and serviced, or a car driven like a grandma and never serviced?

[frd_crzer]

and onother thing about lady drivers something could have gone wrong with the car and they wouldnt know about it and then the problem gets worse and then it will probably cost alot of money

[niko]

lady drivers are usually better as the car itself won't be thrashed.......................

[[Tonko]]

My mate just bought that car, he picks it up on thursday... Its mint...
Hes on these forums aswell...

I'd have to agree with OED666 on this one.

Yes the ladies may hardly ever break 3000rpm or rip a skid as they simply dont care its a car that gets them from A to B, only when something breaks will they fix it. If they nudge a pole in a car park or scrape along the gutter it wont phase them.

Car enthusiats on the other hand will quite often take the car to its upper limits. However they will ensure it is reguarly serviced (including diffs & autos), they will do preventative maintenance and they will ensure the car is kept in a above average condition.

Its a bit of a gamble car thats potentially been thrashed but taken care of or car thats driven like a granny but neglected...

EDIT: Tonko did your mate pay the 8k for it?

[THORNSPAWN]

$8000 for an ED XR6? that's a bit harsh. I happen to know where there's an EL2 XR8 for only $1800 more ;)

[gngtho]

i know wrere you can pick up an edxr8 sprint in immac cond and manual for 5k and its got only 100 thou on the clock.

dont do it not for that price.

you can also pick up an ef xr for that here in adel.

Mate, you PM me the details, and if it is what you say it is (which I doubt), I'll buy it.

Yeah he did, but i can tell everyone, it is absolutely immaculate!
Freshly rebuilt, Alt, PS pump, Air con, everything....
He is a picky bugger (my mate) and could not find 1 thing wrong with it...
If it gives him 3 years of trouble free driving, I dont see the problem?

[MickyB]

I sold my old EBII XR6 5 spd, 150,000 kms, AU2 XR8 rims, same colour and condition as that, minus the sunroof, ED front and stereo for 4,900 if that helps anyone.

Hmmm well my mum owned an ED, was the best kept car, always serivced paint job immaculate...
I guess it depends who the lady is:P

[benny_mac]

Well i paid $5800 for my ef2 xr6 just last week, interior is immaculate, body is good other than some stonechips and some faded plastic bits. kms are 225,000 which works out to be 15,000kms. i'm stoked.

[juzz]

i cant see the the car becuase its not on carsales anymore, but if its black, 5 spd, sunroof and a big tickford logo on the back windscreen, its my mates brothers and i think he ended up getting about 7500 for it....

[I6T5]

that was the one Juzz. ;)
