Question eb gt

Hi All
I'm new to this site and would like some advise. I am currently looking at buying an EB GT. It is a Cardinal red, auto, 1 owner with 97000k on the clock.
The owner wants $20000 and apparently its in excellent condition. Do you think this is a good buy or does anybody know of any other GT's for sale. I have just sold my XA GT and would rather drive a GT with a few luxury's than what the old 'dinosoaur' had. I'm getting soft in my old age!!!!

That sounds like a pretty good buy, especially considering it's value shouldn't drop any further than that. Try not to put too many km's on it! I want a good EB GT out there, for when I have the cash...

Just remember, post pictures.

awesome. hope you like it. the only thing with these limited edition cars if your the person who likes to mod cars, you'd be a bit reluctant to do it to a limited edition car.

and i'll be the first person to say - put some pics up ;)

Hi 'GT BLOKE'
I have spoken to Jarrod at Ford customer assistance and he told me he spoke to the guys at Ford Performance Division and they confirmed all of your breakdown except for
the amount of autos made. He said they only made 123 autos and not sure of the number that went to N.Z.

To 'gtfpv'
Ride - firm to rough, but I would expect that from low profile tyres
sticks to the road like sh*t to a blanket
Sound - niiiiice, not to loud but still lets you know its a v8
Performane - quite impressive, a different horsepower to the old 'dinosour' I used to
own. You have to hussle them along a bit, but they perform quite well.
To 'GT BLOKE'
Yeah you could be right, Ford Aust are not to good at record keeping.
Either way I'm quite happy with the car and plan to keep her for quite a while.
