XR6 Turbo - 2004

Hi all, I am selling my XR6 Turbo in the coming weeks. I am putting it up here first, but please be assured it will be placed onto carsales as soon as I can.

The details of the car:

  • 2004 Ford Falcon XR6 Turbo.
  • 122 000 kms. 
  • $8000 (possibly lower if you want to perform your own roadworthy).

No modifications at all. Has not been re-flashed, has not been boosted and no valve springs either. Absolutely stock standard. 

I am the second owner of the car, previously owned by a Nurse, who didn't like it as much as her small 4wd so she just left it in her garage.

Car comes with the following standard features:

  • Cruise Control
  • Automatic (4 Speed)
  • 17" Alloys
  • CD Stacker (In-Dash)

It also comes with the following dealer options:

  • Sunroof (just replaced under warranty because of glue expiration).
  • Hayman Reese Tow Bar (not sure if this was dealer or aftermarket).

The car is in excellent condition. It has a few marks on the front bumper (speed bump grinds) and also has some on the side-skirts where i think the previous owner had plants down their driveway that used to scrape the car. The LCD screen for the CD/Air Con is also quite dull. The first owner also smoked in the car, i have had the interior steamed cleaned and have invested considerable dollars (almost $80) into air fresheners to remove the smell. Otherwise, this car is in perfect condition. 

I purchased the car approximately 18 months ago with 109 000 kms on it. It has since been serviced twice and has recently had the front brakes changed. This just isn't the car for me, there's nothing wrong with it and I have genuine reason for sale, best to come and check it out for yourself if you are interested. Currently I drive it up and down the freeway (I live in the city, work in the outer suburbs), so it has done mostly (almost exclusively) freeway kilometers since I have owned it.

The car will come with a roadworthy as a part of the sale and the remainder of the registration, it expires 26th March 2018.

I only have old images of the car, i will be taking new ones this week for the carsales advertisement (and this one).The registration is 1IH7EI just so people can run rego checks. (The number plates in the images were kept by the last owner). Please see the attached VicRoads check.

If you are genuinely interested, please give me a call, I'm around most weekends and possibly after work for inspections.You can contact me on: 0417 495 306, or simply reply here, I can normally respond quite quickly. I may not be able to answer your call during work hours, so please be patient, i'll do my best to call you back. 

Thanks, Steve.

      I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
