Welcome to a wonderful world. Where Holdens are just something to blow away in looks, handling and , dare I say it, performance.

(ok we know they do ok in a straight line, but given a track, pft! they are nothing but backmarkers)

Fark $18 for an EL2 with low kms aint bad...

Hi,

Wow - you got a bargain there.. My ex bought his EF Fairmont V8 wagon only 7 months ago.. had 75000k's and he paid $20k.

And thats only a 165kw motor...

I know it not quite comparable with xr 6 and 8's but I only paid $19k, for my manual futura last September and that had less than 20,000km on the clock.

I know its a lot older but my mate just picked up an ED XR8 SPRINT, mickey mouse condition, 2 owner, full books, tighest engine/gearbox/drivetrain I've ever driven, no rattles or shakes - MANUAL, leather trim, kenwood cd, extractors/cats/3-inch mandrel system & EB GT rims/new tyres +++ & only paid $15,000.

well sh!te that was a bargain! I love Sprints. Is he going to come out on club runs, Hmmm...? I'm sure he and Kon would get along just fine *hehe*

 

[RAT]

I forgot to mention it only had 80,000 fully documented km on it.

 

[RAT]

Yes it was a bargain, I should of bought it, all it needed was a good clean & service. We are planning on coming up to Sydney for the All Ford's Day but he can't decide if he'll take his XYGT (see photos in gallery) or the sprint but I think the sprint may get the nod, new toy & all. If the club can organise a day out at Wakefield, you'll hear us coming.

RAT, was that XR8 Sprint Red?

 

[RAT]

Martin, yes it was red.

 

[Martin]

That for sale at a consignment dealer in Queanbeyan wasnt it?

It looked good, apart form the scratched rims :-( It origially had $23k on it, then $19,990 a couple of weeks later...

 

[RAT]

Thats the one. We new the consignment centre had at least $2000/2500 in the deal so he made an offer of 15 directly to the owner (but was prepared to go 16500 if he had to), the owner came back at 16, my mate held out for a couple days & the owner rang him asking when he could settle, he said straight away & there you have it, deal of the year - just add rego. I guess its a buyers market & if you don't ask you won't know.

Those cars at that centre are so over priced!! Have had a look at a few XR's in there.....Good to hear someone got a bargin
