Had the opportunity to test drive a BA 2002 XR6 on the weekend. Did the full trade-in evaluation and all that stuff. Here's my observations.......
My car: 1997 EL Ghia, 170,000km, full service history, LPG/Petrol, Heritage Green/Cappachino vs 2002 BA XR6, Auto, 105,000km, full service history, Venom/Charcoal XR6 goes better and stops better than the Ghia (DER!) XR6 is very plain inside XR6 - lots of road noise - either cheap tyres or diff noise - not sure Ghia is quieter Ghia is much nicer to drive XR6 is $21,000 Offered me $4,000 for the Ghia Now i know there is no value in used cars (unless, of course, you are a dealer trying to sell one) but 4k? - Why on earth would i get rid of the Ghia at that changeover price - it is reliable, comfortable, quiet, and costs me $35.00 a week to run. The XR6 was fun to drive but i think the Ghia will be staying. |
