Default New car!

Well after quite a bit of looking around I finally managed to get my new car, from (unexpectedly) Adelaide. It ended up well worth the plane ticket and 8 or 9 hour drive home. The dealer was a top bloke and an honest one at that (Alex from Power Auto), so I returned very happy with my blueprint AUIII XR6 VCT ST! Still got SA rego (as you can see in pics) for a little bit.

Came with everything I wanted; full leather, electrics, bodykit, VCT, 18's etc... and only 50k on the clock! It's in absolutely mint condition, the wheels don't have a mark on them and I love the colour. Unfortunately I haven't got any decent photos at the moment. Just some quick snaps I took today:





Just wondering if anybody knows a website or something with info on the ST?

Very nice pick up . and coming from Adelaide chances are it was driven by some little old dude who drove 10ks under the speed limit like every one else over there just needs a AU.COM sticker to finish it off

looks nice, i think i actually seen that in a car yard over here.

before i brought mine i had the chance on buying a silver xr6 sprint but it was $17k for the xr6 or $15750 for the xr8. they are a nice car though and have got good options.

The best colour on these IMO, but I may be biased.

Oh yeah just realised I forgot to say the amount! I paid 15,500. So i'm really happy and it was well worth the money, far better than a BA xr6 for the same price.
