Nothing special about those prices if they are accurate.

FG Mk2 has been out for a while and most dealers should have stock by now. I have seen s few on the road already.

Why would the XR6T be more expensive that a G6ET? Typo? or bargain?

They have been advertising them in the Carsguide of the Saturday Courier Mail. Denmac Ford has got plenty of FG2's in stock too. Checked them out the other day.

XR6T $44,448 at the moment Here

G6E Turbo $48,990

plus the fact that even at those prices the dealers would have a minimum of 2 grand in the deal

That's fantastic value for the XR6T. My EF XR8 was more than that with options in 1995!

Moorooka is supposed to be a used dealership only.. It was set up as used only therefore they hold very little new stock.

Remember Bryan Byrt own them now and they are the biggest dealer in QLD, if you go down the back of Darra theres probably 50 - 60 FG2's, but they have to sell the FG1's first... Its not like your going to move the old stock to the back of the yard and put the new stock at the front, just not viable. FIFO (First in, First out).

Well I got out of my car and had a good look at the FG2's they have got . . Parked next to some FG1's . . That was about a week ago now though.

Maybe they have sold them lol.

Went past denmac darra and moorooka last night, both dealerships had several FG2s on the front line. Darra had 2 XT's, 2 XR's and the white G6E I have previously spoken about... Parked on the front row towards the kenworth end of the dealership.
