Nice car but bit overpriced i think.
Ive seen a black one somewhere but cant remember where for 26 and still i thought that one was also overpriced,but i guess they are rare cars so depends on what peeps want to pay for them.

A bit expensive, but I think it is worth it. If I ad a choice between an XR6T and a T3TS50 at that price, I dont know which way Id go.

Looks pretty well priced for mine. I know of a TS that went cheap recently but I haven't seen any advertised very cheap at all. I'd buy that with a little discount.

Does the steering wheel colouring look right? i.e black/blue rim with grey airbag cover?

I'd rather pay around 30k for a low k example than 24k for one with twice the amount of km's. If you want to belong in the 5.6 litre class whats 6 grand?
cheers

Yeah, if it is mint condition and all original I'd pay 30k. Dunno about the DVD screen though, and like jones aus pointed out, sounds a bit suss that no one has ever used the back seat.

Default Just Buy it

The T series is SO DIFFERENT most don't pick it.

Subtlety does that.

By the time time you add the obvious then add fat tailshafts, braided brake line and dozens of other variance you cannot build a 'T; for the price.

A body kit is jut the start

Cheers.

Why is the airbag on this one grey and not black like the wheel?

Is that wheel original?

In any case, the guy or gal should have painted it black IMO!

That airbag should be black. The wheel is right but the airbag is dodgy. Looks to me like it may have been in a decent enough prang to set the original airbag off.

i've noticed that on a few cars (T series) for sale on the internet. I'm not too sure if the airbags actually are grey or if they are the original black which shows up a different colour with the flash of the camera...

LOL, Yeah that wheel is original and I doubt he had a massive accident, it's just the way they come out on the pic. Must be the angle the photo was taken, coz mines the same and have NEVER been in an accident.

Just took a photo of my steering wheel and had a look at a few other interior pics that I have and mine always comes out black. Oh well i'm over it.

I think you might be surprised, they get their figures from sales data..
Try and trade your car and see what you get offered.
The Grey car would sell for low 20's, about spot on for what redbook say for private sale.

Come on Vman you are right to a point, but you know Its a crock about the sales data figures.

Hands up how many people on here, [Or anywere] have seen these things getting traded at car yards, & on sold as a second hand car?? Well ??? NOT MANY so weres the sales data!!

Sales are driven by demand. Ford F%^&ed the Tseries from the start. & now this is the flow on effect. Put simply, know one knows what the hell a T series is...

That red book is rubbish & most people know it. Its the car yards way of saying what your trade ins worth.

Glasses Guide has them at a compleatly different price. So which one do you take notice of ?? Hmm [sales data again]

These cars are worth every bit of 25Gs If a true one [not a fake]& new it would have been about $65000+ on the road. So 25000 for a 65000+ car is good in anyones books.

What other car can you buy for 25Gs that will give the performance, excluciveness, & stand out in your face looks, a T3 does? NONE

And dont say an XR6T or BAXR8 because they are great cars,, but simply not a match for a T3, for the resons I have already outlined.

If anyone is interesrted in these cars go get one, for soon there will be none left on the market. You can beleive it or not. But its a very good buy..

I don't think it's too unreasonably priced. There have been other examples I've seen with higher k's and higher asking prices for them.

Sure with a little discount, you'll still come out smiling.
