Well I did it, traded the BA XR8 S1 in on a new XR6 Ute. Happy but also sad I will never forget the joy XR8 gave me. How I did not lose my license in the first 12 months I had that car was just luck ???
Gota love Ford & the 50th anniversary deals, even the Wife, who loved the XR8 is happy with the new Ute, Bluetooth, & stuff I'm still learning about so I'm happy. If any one is looking for a good XR8 Sed it is at Grawill Ford Gosford, 95K's & it still has the YT CAI.  |

If you don't mind me asking what sort of money are dealers handing out on trade in on a MK1 XR8?
Shoot me a PM if you would prefer. Congrads on the new Ute the XR50's are a great package and exceptional value! |

That's great fella. The XR6 ute is great, but I'd imagine the 50th Anniversary edition is pretty special. How you finding the difference in power, coming from an XR8 to an XR6?

I just traded my 03 BA XR8 on a 09 FG GT.
Not worried about trade was after the change over costs. Xr8 was great, but the GT is WOW
