Bit for 60k you could Get an xr6t with change to spare...... Would still love one though.

Well if you buy one I suggest you buy some extra tyres to go with it. With that sort of power on a FWD vehicle you got figure those fronts are going to get shredded quickly.

I thought the new one was 7K cheaper, mine was $67K new inc 6/7k of options

49k for an 'R' would be without onroads for a 3 dr manual. Could quite easily get to $65k for a 5door with DSG plus a few extras however $72k would have to be heavily optioned, but as with most new cars discounts can be had.

I'm guessing Ford quoting $59990 would be plus onroads.

Yeah I think the 72K one had sat nav & the 19"s which would look awesome. I think they're gunmetal grey which with blue look tops.

If you can stand Tiff Needell and Vicki Butler-Henderson, then this is worth a watch

^^ Looks as though they did a typo at the start with the RS's 0 - 62 mph time....7.3 sec's

the VS Crapaddore i'm driving around in at the moment is quicker than that...

In another review I read that it was 5.9 to 62mph, that sounds more likely
