was driving down barkley st w.foots the other day and going past the holden dealership i think it was, and among the club sports and new common whores there sits a silver FTO... FOR $29,999... WTF
now it was as stock as a rock from the exterior, but still sh8tloads sportier looking among the holdens around it, besides the clubbies, so maybe they are waiting for a stooge who will think its some crazy exotic.... as it is of course
not the greatest news flash, but managed to make me think i had gone blind and look several times.

Yeah i've notice FTO price are starting to go back up, well at least for the quality one.
But that dealer have to be dreaming though.

I picked up on that as well....
Was passing "Auto Alley" at Parramatta & saw a few 23, 24, 25999 price tags on FTOs. Also noticed a few in the Trading post for 20k plus...

Its always good to here that
Dont want the FTO to be too cheap...Most of my mates thinks FTO's are worth in the 50's or 60's or something

yeah i think the prices are goin up cos they changed the import rules.
It used to be 10 year old cars could be imported. now only 15 year old cars can be imported privately or sumthin so FTOs are gettin harder to get an therefore the prices are goin up
i think anyway
