Taking a bath on it is better than getting nothing for it. How many have even sold since release?

I just had a look on Trade Me in N.Z.
Ecoboost XT's for as low as $26,995 Kiwi probably with a fair bit of room to haggle from there so the Aussie price looks legit to me. Its crossing my mind to low ball one of the dealers here with $20,000 Kiwi, make a good office hack. |

No, no, no, can't be right. "Ecoboost is going to save the Falcon"
 What a POS, can't even "give" em away.

Kiwi XT Ecoboosts range between 2013 and 2014, lots with only a few thousand km's.
Personally I think once a car is more than 12 months old or 5,000 km's its effectively a used car. It seems more than a little disingenuous to be calling a two year old car with 20,000 km's a demo. Are all the Aussie so called demo's like that ? |

A Demo is a used car. Warranty and rego have already started. Only main difference is stamp duty is included in the sale price and they get treated as a "new" car by most Insurance companies (ie new for old if written off). This is what happened to my 2010 Demo SR5 Hilux, got written off at 15,000kM and 9 months after purchase. Got a brand new one delivered to my door with 12 months rego and full new car warranty.

i had my first drive in a demo ecoboost G6E the other day and I was pretty impressed with it actually. You wouldn't know it was a four banger if you weren't told prior.

WOW, that is exceptional value IMO. hard to pick bad points with the Ecoboost package for a daily driver.
only bad point would be is it is too large compared to other 4 bangers, when people are tyre kicking for a 4 banger buzz box, but is that a bad point? My son just purchased an ex rental Ecoboost Falcon, every person I talk to about it, never heard of a 4 cylinder Falcon, but that's the same old no marketing campaign argument from Ford. Should be a big seller in Qld. with the rego billing set up to how many cylinders a car has & priced right. |

looked up the local dealer that also has loads of 20 000K demo,
in the past they had ford company cars advertised like this and government fleet loaners. the 4 cyl for $29k link turns out to be a 4.0 cyl ute.
