Default My trade in is on the net

Five years warranty? I wonder if they will warrant the gearbox/drive train with over 300rwks or if they detuned it. lol. If they will, it would be a good buy, I spent bucket loads on that car. : Always wondered where it ended up after trading it in at Ford.

How much did they pay you for the trade vs the sale price?

Looks like they've de-tuned it, or there just leaving the new owner to a hell of a surprise!

Trade was around $18,000 by the time the change over was worked out with a few extras on my GS so $22,000 is not much of a mark up with 5 years warranty. Well thats what Ford gave me, who knows how much the wholesaler picked it up for?
And yes it will be a real suprise when someone test drives it, anything under 80kms on a dry road it would spin the rears when you give it some. :

They probably have photos from forums of it on Moran Park, Lakeside, QR and Willowbank when the buyer comes to get a repair: oh sorry mate this car has been raced so warranty is void. lol.
