Default Whats a EF XR8 vortech blower low kms good condition worth??

Hi All,

Im looking at this EF XR8 which has a vortech blower kit installed with a piggy back. Car itself is very good condition with factory sunroof, also has koni spring & shocks front and rear which are adjustable.

The car has 50,000 kms on it and interior is spotless and has the new car smell LOL

What do you think its worth guys?

13k sound about right

Not sure I'd part with that much coin for an EF XR8 with BA XR6 turbos going for $8K at the moment. Has to be the bargain perfomance buy at the moment.

Where are you finding all these low k XRs? I'm finding it hard to find anything less than 200-300,000. I must admit they are cheaper than 13K though.

I have no idea they just popped up recently

I think 11,500 is a fair deal for a low km, imaculate xr8 with a vortech blower kit.

BA/BF are every where now and to me its nothing special.

EF/EL is different and like the look as well, but i also like the BA/BF shape.

I guess im a hardcore EF/EL fan LOL

Yeh that red XR8 is ugly and for that much money i would expect to have a nice set of 19's and decent exhaust system.

I haven't noticed e series prices in a while but $12-13k wouldn't be bad.

A good XR8 manual is worth say $8k
Charger setup installed can vary, but lets say $6-10k pretty easy.

Redbook has EF XR8 for $5,500 - $7,200 with average kms of 150,000 - 250,000 and this XR8 im looking at is way lower by 100,000 lower so that must add to its value. Vortech blower kit from C.A.P.A is worth $8000.00 not installed or tuned.

i think 11k sounds about right considering a good nick EF XR8 with factory sunroof and blower.

50k, wow.
If it's what your after you should get it, personally i would. I guess you could get a different EF/L xr8 for 5ish, then spend your 8k on your blower, then suspension then engineering and hopefully it only has 50,000 on it.....
Though before i got it, i'd get it checked over pretty thoroughly to make sure you can get rego..

Nah, haven't seen it. Just came across it online.

Of course its not worth 10K - Mcgraths have to make their 50% + profit!!

Why is it not any good? Is it not as good as the K's would indicate?

Wonder if they'll take $5k.
