Question How Much is this Worth?

I have a Friend who has a Twin Turbo XF Fairmont Ghia
AIT Trin Turbo Water Intercooled
T5 5 Speed Manual
Original 110,000 Km's
Motor and Turbos did not need rebuilding, but were at 80,000km's by bensons
He is 2nd Owner
Red in Good Condition
Has had this car for 13 years
Haltech Computer
Overall the car is in Fantastic Condition, with no rust

Everything is Original from Who ever it was that built them, not sure who, but was in sydney.

Pictures coming soon.

He is interested in selling but not sure what its worth?

With a rough guess, I would say anything between 10-12K?

No its Red and is in north western Sydney
I dont think hes driven the car for a few years, I have known him for about 3 1/2 years, and I have never seen him drive it, he is a small collector of Rare stuff. Has not got all that many cars, but what he does have is very nice.

He just told me, there was not that many of them built, and there was 3 sold to people in Sydney, and 6 in Melbourne. He met a guy around 5 years ago who was involved in building them. This guy was from newcastle, and said they were built in Sydney, and around that time (5 years ago) there was one in Unique Cars with 65,000 Km's $20,000

If its really neat and the factory endorsed fitment it may be worth up to 20k.

If is not approved by the RTA as twin turbo more like 5k

Lets not forget that it comes down to supply, if it truely is a factory twin turbo, im thinking its a little more hard to com by than an XA coupe.
Wow that means it must be worth .....100k going on coupe prices and no's built

The problem with these cars is that they are only worth a lot to the small amount of people that know about them.

I picked up my AIT factory turbo EA for $4200. A few others in better, more original condition have gone for $2k.

Unfortunately there isnt a huge market for AIT cars. For this reason I have decided to mess with mine as I would a normal EA by stuffing a BA motor into it.

Your mate might be very lucky to get $15k if he can find the right buyer. I hope he is prepared to wait.

But the seller still has to be willing to sell it for what someone wants to pay for it , and if they don't then it aint for sale. So I stick by my statement .
