    Re: Should I swap him?

    If his car is so great, why would he want to downgrade to an older Commodore? Conversely you know your car and you know you have a good one.

    Keep the Commodore.

    Re: Should I swap him?

    i told him its $2500 and his car and he says that his car is worth over $8000 so that means i want more than $10k for my VT which is silly.

    Id sell my VT for $4000 but its a great car so why would I? To be a clapped out BF ford?

    His car isn't worth anywhere near 8000. My neighbour just sold his 2007 BF2 xr6 in that gunmetal grey colour done 105k for $10k

    And no I wouldn't swap.

    Unless you're looking for a BF Falcon, why bother?

    Re: Should I swap him?

    Both cars are worth basically nothing. The VT, from the descriptions given, sounds vastly better. I say keep it - why swap a known good car for what is probably a piece of junk when both are worthless anyway?

    Hahaha...in what parallel universe are people paying $8k for BF Falcons with 200+ on the clock? If he could sell it for half that he'd be doing well, nobody wants Falcons anymore.

    And that's exactly why they are essentially worthless. Throw in some bad mods that suggest the car's been flogged and almost a quarter of a million kms and he'd be lucky to get a couple of thousand dollars I reckon.

    I agree - brother in law got a BF fairmont with half the kays for 7k from a dealer! Also the dodgy half arsed mods mentioned. Definitely sounds like he's trying to offload a lemon. On the other hand, the Falcon aircons always seem to be a shitload better than the Holden ones!

    I wouldn't touch it at all. Sounds like he is trying to offload a piece of junk.

    Stick with your vt... would you really want to drive a ford anyway, lol.

    Re: Should I swap him?

    Up for sw0pzzz!!!!11!! = I've driven it hard, not maintained it properly, done too many dodgy back yard mods and fixes, and no-one will pay cash for it, so I'll hope someone swaps me something functional and doesn't look too closely at my junk cause they're handing over other old stuff rather than sweet sweet folding stuff.

    .....ok sometimes people swap genuine decent cars too, but the above seems to be common these days, and given the description of the BF I'd put money on it being a shitter
