Well, for the past 3 years i have driven my mums ED Furtura for the past 3 odd years, and i have finally had to purchase it.

I have done all the mods, and not even owned it.

So now i have to either buy this car, or buy another one. I have been looking at ED XR6's, and there is one goin for $8500 near my place.

The Futura has done 215,000, and is in perfect condition, and i would b really sad to see it go.

How much will it cost you to take it off your mum's hands ??

OED666 · 02-02-2004, 18:50

well we are trying to work that price out at the moment. see i no the insides of this car, and how its been treated, so i really do wanna keep it, but there is this little devil inside that says, the minimum car i should get is an auto xr6, then goin all the way up to manual xr8.

i wish it wasnt soo hard to make this decision

how much do you think the futura is worth, just by looking at those pics. its in really good condition inside too

Dellboy999 · 02-02-2004, 18:54

Well how could a price can you get from your mum, then seel it, and use profit towards the xr6 ............ LOL

Boy would your mum be impressed ........... hehehehhee

my dad just told me $5000, and i pay the rego which is due in 2 weeks

Dellboy999 · 02-02-2004, 18:58

So say 5,500, thats about 3 grand in your pocket, and make it go faster, lower, and look better ........... tough decision

OED666 · 02-02-2004, 19:03

yea, i see your point, (i cant go any superlow, stupid driveway)but there is something about owning an XR i reckon. it would b soo nice.

I am goin to have a look at an XR6 tonite.

Dellboy999 · 02-02-2004, 19:06

Should I guess your mum's ED is auto, and the XR manual ?

So me thinks if thats the case, we will find you an XR very shortly ..... hehehehhee
