$15,000 would be a good price to target in your ad because it's got good km's on it and a few extras. Expect that with fuel prices the way they are though, and normal depreciation trends you might try to get talked down a bit.. I'd put $15k and take $14k if it came to it. my 2c

I know ford knock off a couple of grand but I went to sell my AU1 XR8 back to Ford 2 years ago and the max they were paying was $15,000 back then. I ended up selling for $13500. The cheapest AU XR8 I have seen so far is $9000. But that had a lot of k's.

From www.Redbook.com.au,
1998 FORD FALCON

AU XR8 Sedan 4dr Man 5sp 5.0i
Prices based on km 120,000 - 200,000
Trade in price guide* $7,600 - $9,100
National average price - private sale* $10,000 - $12,800
Price when new (RRP) $46,490

yeah ,obviously the fuel thing is going to hurt V8 sales at the moment,
but I think whoever buys it will be someone who is looking for this particular car and isnt worried too much about fuel prices.
Its funny the way people think. Personally, I think a car car with low kays isnt really worth a heap more than a similar , high km model. The lower kays just make it more desirable to the prospective buyer.
$13,500!!!! sheeeeeesh
It really is a good example so hopefully someone out there is looking for a car in this condition.
