Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Legacy Donating Member 3,994 Member For: 16y 2m 17d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 14/03/15 07:36 AM Posted 14/03/15 07:36 AM Old ones more than new but FG not excluded either. They are a great value performance car - we all know that. The downside is, some of the dropkicks that should keep their ricers are jumping on the bandwagon. They wind the wick up and break everything of course, then offload the car for next to nothing because they need a 'reliable' daily. This is being repeated over and over at the moment. In my opinion, it forms part of the reason why the used XR6 market is destroyed.I'd move mine on if I could, but I'd get murdered like everyone else. So you either take a huge hit or keep it. Forgetting the mods I've done, to possibly tear up 20k is the worst deprecation I've experienced with any car I've owned. It just pisses me that I'm kind of trapped.

I've moved on most of the OEM parts like taxi brakes etc. She'd be sold as a complete rig with matching FG tub trailer and 2 QIK 6 plates.

I was doing about 110, as soon as I hit it the car died, the wiring harness was severed, the trans hit the firewall, exhaust manifold studs sheared off, oil filter smashed off. car was fcuked. Cost 8k to fixTraded it as soon as I picked it up from the panel beaters. The used car evaluator asks me "been in any accidents?"nope
