A joke? Huh? I voted for it!!!!!!!!! I thought that was the obvious answer. the fact that the question needed to be asked... well, you must have been on something funky.

[DailyDriver]

Sold it, and drive my SS to work instead!!

[amiers]

you mean G220, only BF's are G8.

[cArSiK]

been there, done that. Bought two BA's

[The Monty]

I was thinking of ny an XR6T. But then Ill have to come up with about 20 grand to buy it and do a LITTLE work on it. Id rather spend 15 to 20 grand beefing up the engine and trans and go for a 500 hp turbo AU. Plus its got the extra niceness of looking like an au.

[XEESP_351]

currently selling mine so i can go back to oldskool..Where was that option box?

[Mechan1k]

If Chrysler made a 300C SRT8 ute ... I'd get one.
But in the meantime .... nup ... I tried selling the AU ... you get nothing for them.
It's still worth money to me ... it's the only vehicle that has paid itself off and earnt money. Why get rid of it I say.

[Auslandau]

Recently sold my AU Ghia, Liquid silver, black interior and traded 'up' to a BA XR6........I want my AU back!!!!! Now I rekon I would do a direct swap. I like my BA but both very different cars. The AU, in many respects, was way better..........

Daniel, you ask stupid questions. :jab: :ymca: :

[AUXRVIII]

T3 (Black with red Brembo's mmmm) or BA XR6T.

[RIPGMH]

If the resale value was remotely inticing I'd throw it out quicker than 6 week old milk. I guess in that regard its self-sustaining

[Peuty]

Black XR8 220 with a rebel kit. Or an XP with a nice healthy 351c.

[duaned]

I rekon I would be happy to exchange my keys for a Mazda 6 MPS turbo or Subaru Liberty GT Turbo.(plus cash difference!) Certainly better built, equipped and better quality than an AU Falcon, but you did ask!

[Pies1]

I'm not sure I would go Ford with my next buy.

I like the Typhoon, and the Xr6T's etc, but i'm thinking I might go Mazda 6 MPS, or a Honda Accord Euro Sport.

Not so much performance, but more luxury etc.

[mik]

the thought of not having the au .............is there life after au....... dont think so, but if a 20 ton slab fell off a truck onto it and i had too pick another, would probably go for a boss ba, love the look and sound of them but xrt would be nice also, toss a coin both good

[XplodE]

Id sell my xr6 and buy a T3 or an XR8 (pursute 250) Ute, in blueprint ofcorse.

[xr8ute]

No plans to get rid of the AU, not before I fit the 351 stroker w/2.8L KB blower anyway....

...but i would seriously love to get my **** behind the wheel of a Valiant again.

A tidy VE Regal in white with blue interior, and a fuel injected 360. Just for cruising on weekends.

And a berko, stripped out VK Charger with the 265, CHI cylinder head, and Webber style EFI...big converter, short gears, stacks of revs...blah, blah.

And then a nice little 1970 AAR 'Cuda in Alpine White.

And then one of those mini's converted to rear-wheel-drive with the 1300cc Hayabusa engine.

And then a Ducati 916 to get to work on weekdays.

Geez you are easily pleased and don't ask for much... :

[SVR73]

It won't be going anywhere. If it did though I would buy a T series or XR8 series 3

[Richo86]

I plan on sticking with my AU for a few more years... and then I'll buy another one. Probably an XR8 or T-series if I'm lucky enough to find one at the time. But I plan on spending a heap on my next car, doing it up. I love the look of the AU XRs, whereas to me, the BA/BF XRs look too similar to your everyday BA/BF (I'm still a huge fan of their looks though.)

Depending on my financial situation in a few years' time, I'd SERIOUSLY consider an FPV like an F6/F8 Typhoon or Tornado (I'd test drive a few,) or I might have a look at what other FORDs are on the market at the time.

As much as I love the look of the BAs and BFs (as long as they have spoilers - to me, these cars MUST have spoilers!) it's somewhat mitigated by the fact that THEY ARE EVERYWHERE AND THERE ARE SO FREAKIN' MANY OF THEM! I've seen about 7 or 8 DIFFERENT FPVs and GTs in the last few days, and I simply CANNOT manage to drive down any road or street without driving past at least one BA/BF. It's quite incredible actually; it never ceases to amaze me.

I live in the Donvale/Doncaster area (Melbourne) and I see surprisingly few VE Commodores!

[Lukeyson]

next ride, which we are 'discussing' at the moment, will be a FPV GT, will cash my ute in and keep the AU XR8 sedan, cant part with it

[T3man]

I can't vote because it says "IF" I sold - AND THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!!

The most likely option for me is - "when will you buy another one?"

Yep. I rented a BF XR6 for a few days a couple of weeks ago. Hence my post that BA/BF do nothing for me. I hope Orion is good (assuming I can wait that long), otherwise a Calais or 300C is on the cards. 300C diesel is very appealing.

[Edit] There may be one exception to the above. I might, just might, consider a BF LTD, if for no other reason than to be different.

As Kevin Rudd would say, I'm at a fork in the road. The AUXR8 has 145k on the clock but is still running like a dream. Now do I spend some cash on it to make it last another 5 years trouble free or upgrade. I still get a kick out of driving it, taking off at the lights and feeling its raw power in 1st and 2nd, then easing off to cruise.

Resale has dived in the last 2 years and I couldn't let it go for the measly $12 odd grand it would get.

Decision made: keep it, spend some money on replacing shocks, etc and let the wife drive the fancy stuff.

****

[V8falcons]

I wouldnt sell it.If It was crashed Id replace it with a V8 SR wagon.wagons are real handy for me.

[DJM83]

A manual BFII Typhoon or an Audi S4
