Welcome!!
Black is best (can you tell I have a black one too
)
You will find lots of useful info on here - and if it isnt in the forums - someone will generally be able to help with the answer.
Cheers

$10,500 for an FTO with that many k's is pretty cheap, hope you got a mechanical check before you bought it.
Anyway, WTTC - i'm around Liverpool most weekends so I might see you driving around. I'm in a yellow FTO, hard to miss.

i hate you
lol
if that checked out mechanically then it's a pretty good buy.
i paid $12k for my 94 GR 100000km!!!!!
with a dvd player 7" screen.... i wasnt ripped off but now i know i could've gotten a better price if i waited.

Price for FTO's have definately fallen.
Since I bought mine about a year ago, I noticed that if I held off from
buying it then I could a get better condition FTO for 2-3k less now. But if I did held off from buying it, I wouldn't be driving around in a nice looking car.

theres a minor issue with the light switch. when doors open, cant switch off the light.
also found a common problem whilst shopping for FTO. the rear mirrors don't fold back and some of the windows shatter.
it was initially $13K on carsales.com.au , but managed to get it down to 10 1/2.
