Fairwell XR8

EB 2 XR8 · 21-12-2006, 08:19 PM

Well i got offered 8 Grand for my car and i am taking it since i bought it for $5500. So i will be paying off some of the stuff i owe and should leave me with about $5500 getting my money back. So i have started looking for another car, don't know if i will find one as good as my first car, but certainly gunna take my time. Very fun having a V8 for a first car, but i think i will be getting a 6 cylinder, but defintley will get another V8 in the future.

Had some good times in this car sad to see it go...

You can get an EL XR8 for that money. Go the V8 as it was my first car and current car whick i own both. Nothing beat a Ford V8

The EF/EL XR6 5spd would be good. It's relatively economic and nearly as fast as some of those dinosaur V8s from the mid 90s.

That seems very good money to get for EB. Have you spent much on it? :monkes:

i was happy to see my first car go it wasnt real flash at all you will miss the v8 that note that you wont get when you put your foot down in a 6 just wont cut it i would think about it b4 you jump in headfirst and get somthing that you mite regret man

nat_daly · 22-12-2006, 09:22 AM

its true 8's have got the sound, but you can make a 6 sound beefy aswell

FPV8U · 22-12-2006, 09:45 AM

An EL XR6 is no joke, and AU XR6's are coming down in price, take your time and make sure you get something you won't regret and say "what if"...

james22 · 22-12-2006, 12:18 PM

I hate saying good bye to cars... think carefully and choose wisely man, a 6 is not to be taken lightly after owning an 8, u might regret it

EB 2 XR8 · 22-12-2006, 01:13 PM

I am hoping to get a loan out and get either a EF/EL XR8, my dad talked me out of getting a 6 and i have never drivin a 6 cylinder daily, and i think i might regret getting a 6. but will definetley take my time for my next car..

Your dad talked you out of it, wat a champ lol. In all honesty if you can go the V8 do it you will miss it if u go a 6 although my old AUII XR6 was pretty quick manual too but the EF/EL (particularly EL) XR body shape it nice

EB 2 XR8 · 23-12-2006, 08:30 PM

yer lol dunno how many dads would erge a 17 year old to get a V8 lol

[Tonko] · 24-12-2006, 12:25 AM

so true, my first car was an XD 351, then i went to a 6cyl CFI EA **cringes** because of the canary, then EB XR8. now back in a Ghia 8. nothin is better than a V8.
im only 19 aswell..

Thats weird, you've basically had the same cars I have. First car was an XD 351, followed by an EB 5.0, a few XR8's and a Ghia 5.0. Only 6 I ever had was a Territory Ghia. You're right, nothing is better than a V8.
