I think more like $80K? The upcoming new Statesman, Caprice and Calais prices (drops of up to $8,000 over current models) prices are stirring. Ford really has to re-think things through now. So maybe this TL price is not so surprising. He will probably move it easier this way with the whole petrol crisis thing around. The new BFII details came out at goauto.com.au today if you're interested. My AUII feels even more older now.

I can't believe they are going for that cheap .... the TL would be awesome to own.
The missus would kill me though.

I think it's great they're selling so cheap. I just wish I could afford them! I'd personally like a TE50 in that stunning light mettalic blue. Manual of course. And hopefully leather interior.

Also, The Reject Shop are selling packets of 7 pairs of male underwear for $5. That's a good price.

I got 8 cans of SPC Baked Beans in Ham Sauce for $8 at Safeway today. I reckon I've got a good deal. Hmm, given the fibre intake, 7 pairs of undies for $5 from The Reject Shop sounds pretty good!

$1 a can? I think you got ripped off. Maybe there is a cheaper no frills one? I am fine with those. But I know some people are funny about their baked beans hehe.

CHeaper brands haven't got Baked Beans in Ham Sauce. Only Heinz and SPC have it, and SPC is better. SPC has a smokier flavour, whereas Heinz is bland.

I am in no way associated with SPC.

I may be going silly(er) but I'm sure I first saw this thread in the Pub/Bar.
Sheesh I NEVER look in the "cars for sale" section. It makes me cry too much!
