I think the wheels look quite good on the falcon. As for the car, well its a dealer special. They can and do pretty much whatever they want in this area, though some dealers with packages that 'devalue' certain models sometimes get a phone call questionig what is going on from head office....

I like it.
Have a look at the Bayford Website they are 2008 XT's with between 30-40 thousand kays. Not sure If Id pay that money for a 2nd hand XT, but its a great way for the dealer to get some extra dough for some fleet cars.

Damned if you do damned if you don't.
Good on Bayford I say, they are having a go at moving some cars that seem to be good value. |

Holy crap, if they had those deals going when I got my car last year, I would have saved up the extra $6000 and bought one :(

These are used fleet cars being flogged off with a few extras to make them move.

I like it. Like someone pointed out before, more dealers should take the initiative and put together clean decent looking cars with a neat factory look. Its much better than what a lot of dealers do and just bang on flashy cheap 19-20" rims and up the price $3-4k.
While we're at it, I'd like to see dealers upgrading intakes on the XTs with XR6T and F6 intakes just for giggles, a 2.5" exhaust and now you've got a " limited edition " dealer pack thats got the performance edge over the XR6 NA.

There's a few FG XR6s on Carsales with less than 30,000kms selling from $24k now.
Buyer's market indeed!

i reckon its not a bad gig. If you were looking to buy and XT and this was sitting next to it for nearly the same price?? no way you would get an XT is there. Smart move by the dealer really, buy a heap of rims in bulk cheaply, chuck them on some standard falcons and make a bit of $$$ on each one
