Soldmy xr8 sprint and moving to France Buying an Alfa Romeo

Ok as some of you may know on the 5th of April this year i am officially moving to Aubagne France. Unfortunately I cannot import my 2016 Xr8 Sprint. Now I know that I cannot advertise on this forum however I would like to put it out there that I have a limited edition vehicle for sale ( number 46-750) fitted with the 6 sp auto and a 5.0 supercharged coyote engine with a water to air intercooler, full stainless steel 2.75 exhaust and flash tuner with 410RWKW tune and economy tune (9.0L/100km’s average)
I am willing to sell world wide (provided the buyer organizes freight I am located in qld Australia)
Info on the basics of the car can be found here if anyone is interested please PM myself


Car has done approx 20000KM’s [19876] with a full service record with 2500km service intervals

What is this thing?! This looks freaking awesome. Compared to the American cars, what car is this? The Taurus? The Fusion? No American Ford car I know of comes with the Coyote except the Mustang, and the interior resembles a much older American Ford. Why does everyone else get way more awesome cars than us Americans? =(

I may not have seen many FG X Falcons in real life, and none of those were Sprints, but having read about it in Australian motoring publications as the last of its kind, it’s very special indeed. Here’s hoping the new owner takes good care of it!

Ford Falcon XR8 Sprint. Australain Only Model line up from Ford Australia.

BHAHAHA yeah one of my favorite things is blowing away coyote mustangs at the drag strip. This is the real deal the best 4 door ford ever made period

Oh my… If only I could buy it :confused:

It looks absolutely mean and I bet it’s fun as well, it also looks practical (nothing beats a practical fun car)

Now I would love to hear what you peeps think and can advise me on. I want to buy a car that is not available in Australia and preferably a v8. This will be my fun car and I will buying a VW polo as a daily driver. I am swinging more towards a Porsche or the Alfa

I prefer 4 doors and the alfa is beautiful but i have always wanted a maserati. Lord I xant wait to get to Europe

That is an enviable position for you to be in…

I would recommend the Maserati or Alfa, the former because of its sweet-sounding V8 and the latter because of its seductive styling. However, I’d fully understand why you’d buy the Panamera, considering your preference for four-door cars.

Tbird, 1st panamera, or the Alfa would be my picks personally.

In the end, it all up to you, though!

I would be happy with either the Maserati or the Alfa - oh wait, I am happy :smile:

Thats why you should work hard when ur young kids. I looked at a few mustangs but i dont like the interiors and most of the BMWs for sale are deisel, theres so much more available than i guessed for this much money…the other option is buying new but restricts me a fair bit

The Cobra has never “done it” for me. Can’t say why exactly.

cheeky git :wink:

you were totally asking for that one :joy:

Its kinda hard but to say yes i want that car without being able to test drive one first but…and i am still in shock that my xr8 sold for soo much. It is going to a 21yr old lad from Western Australia with more money than sense…lets just say that I made over 10k from the initial price i paid new
