Just a couple of questions to those in the no! I have recently had the Missus write off my 6 and was wondering what sort of money would get me a low boost chargerd 6 and if they are high maintenance they are like could it be used daily with out issue Im seriously debating buying one if it's not going to be 10k or something rediculus I want something abit more than just a standard one Thanks.________________________________________ R.I.P my first 6 |

4-5k buys a tidy one, fuel consumption is about 10-30% worse, (mainly because the temptation to use the extra power is there) coupled to the fact that you can only fill with high octane juice. Insurance is hiked a bit, a lot if you're young or have a chequered history. And finally, you have all the usual maintenance gremlins, icv, cam belt, heater matrix, rear beam etc that you can expect from a standard 6/Rallye. If you are handy with the spanners, or have extra cash while running a standard one, then make the jump. If the answer isn't yes to one or both of those questions avoid.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.

Russ has used his low boost Rallye for few years no problems, not to sore on juice and no bad for him to insure, only thing that us more expensive is the oil and charger oil/filter that I can think off, just get a high boost as you will be bored before long!!________________________________________ In my garage just now2003 BMW M3 & 2009 L200 Raging Bull & Audi Q5 S Line AX stock rod & Saxo Stock rod Sold the bike an charged rallye an bought a caravan, midlife crisis or what! |
