Resale value was always terrible on Falcon's. Seems all Ford had to do was to stop making them. That's about 75% resale value after 6 or 7 years, not bad at all.

I paid $59,000 for my XR8 in 2014, it's probably worth more than that now. Not often that sort of thing happens, especially on something as common as a Ford Falcon.

And no, my XR8 is NOT for sale.
Compared to what they used to be ... the prices are crazy now.
Especially the price of ex-NSW HWP turbos. No thanks.

your looking at a 5-6 year old car well out of warranty.

They used to be good deals ... but definitely not worth it at those prices now.
