I think the BA should be priced around $10000 and the BF could be dropped another couple of thousand. I would buy neither. IF you could get the BF down a couple of grand, then maybe the BF.

If I were you, I would be patient and ONLY accept a BF with 100,000km's. The 6 speed auto is a BIG advantage, but 162k is a LOT more than 100k, especially if you plan on adding a few more. At 100k you might be looking at new suspension bushes, shocks etc..., but at 200 you start to get into territory where turbo rebuilds are a possiblity.
When I had to make my decision of BA vs BF, because I was looking at 6 speed manuals, it wasn't worth the extra $3k+ for a BF.

Repair cost dont really bother me too much as I work part time over the summer at a garage, and if turbo core is replaced I will just get bigger one.

Go the BF then, better gearbox, more refined car, and not a bad colour either ;) PS. Post 06/06 onwards BF Turbo's had stronger rods from the FPV / LPG Falcons.
