Saw this today and it reminded me of the original post of the high priced silver AUXR8.

A car with a high asking price is not evidence of the high value of the car.
It is a claim by the seller that in his opinion his car is worth this much. This has the double effect of people after a bargain looking elsewhere and at the same time attracting buyers who for whatever reason like these ugly AU Falcons. |

Gee mate, why the negative post?
A troller? What was in my post that was deliberately offensive or provocative? This is a Ford Forum, right? Why then do you cast aspersions, not only on an opinion expressed by a fellow member, but also on a specific model that Ford released? Your post contributes nothing to the debate, it is a poorly constructed attempt to smear the writer and I find it immensely offensive. |

Is it an xr6 or 8?
Says 8 in the title but the description says vct 6. Might be my old eyes but it looks to me like the clearcoat has had it. Ex police - expensive for what it is in my opinion.

Photo 5 gives it away - XR8. Still a bit pricey for what would be a basic XR8 auto with no options. Pricey in today’s market anyway, who knows what it’ll be worth in the future.

Tell him he's dreaming. I can get a mint G6E Turbo with similar k's to this for 20k. And I know which one will be more of a collectable.
Do some people see someone try to sell one for an expensive price so instantly think their's is worth the same? |

I don't think he's too far of the money.
If that's the model you really wanted, trying to find one that is in top condition with low km's is getting very hard. I cant say by looking at the crap photo's if it's actually good or not though ! |

I started the post as a follow up to the original one. If your not a fan of the AU, there are other posts that deal with opinions on the design. Let's stick to the topic please folks which is about current prices, not if you don't like them.

I own an AU XR8 but I wouldn't pay that much for one (mind you I thought mine was a bargain when I got it) Look at TE/TS/TL 50's in the same range. Car has to be over 30 years old for Historic rego so you would have to wait a bit before that's an option. UK

The manual 220kw variant is becoming very hard to source, especially when condition/kms are a factor. |

While you’re on carsales try and find any other pre AU factory Ford V8 manual sedan for under about $15000. They rarely exist so I believe that V8 AU’s especially manuals will soon join that club and as we are seeing, some have already. |

I know which one id buy and it doesnt have 6 cylinders. Hard to comment on which may be worth more FWIW i reckon the AU will be.

Manual with very low kays, leather, premium sound and premium brakes, and looks like it needs nothing. For $15k it's priced very well even for a 200kw (which i reckon with the mods has more power than that now anyway). |

Oh yeah it would t be as quick as a turbo. But I reckon it would probably drive better. My T2 was heaps of fun.
