Buying a Car From Pickles Salvage Auctions. Another 06 BF XR6 MK1 Shockwave Blue

Good score ...👍.

Fkn solid purchase mate!

That rust can easily get a lot worse, get to it as soon as possible.

Nice bro! I've got a Shockwave Blue MK2 BF! I've heard these shockwave's we're rare? Or barely any falcons came in shockwave blue do you think its true?

Congrats mate! Pickles would have purchased this from an Insurance company for $200 (believe it or not). Going by looking at the rear, it has been repaired (boot, spoiler and bumper) considering that paint is fresher & the fake MKII badge. Plus the rear boot badges don't align up with factory OEM positioning. BA MKII is when the window switch illumination were introduced. Easy to spot where the base of the switch is white (rather than non-black). It would have been even a better score if it had the ZF6 speed. Looks like a plug a play fix mate. Nevertheless, awesome buy. Looking forward to more fix-her-up vids. Cheers

How much?

Fairmont ghias have the illuminated switches, mine even has the boot/fuel switch

idk how you haven’t fully blown up, underrated creator. Cant wait to see how far you go bro😁

Same interior as my BF 😂. Great purchase and looks mint. Just gotta work on it and it'll look shmick as

Well done mate

Price?

Pickles auction is that in adelaide?

I am the second owner of a 96 XH XR6 ford ute , the last 4 years paint is deteriorated, its blue , only had to replace one badge, worn cracked, i love driving it , using a tarp makes them sweat so rust will eventually happen

Nice purchase, top vide. Subscribed👍 just a tip, get a deadcat for your mic. It will eliminate the wind noise.

The metal auto line at the front sometimes rust through and leak, but maybe bf has aluminium? I rember xt new when was in school was $20,890 but looked terrible in police specs.

Make a good rental for a bogan wedding

The body will fall apart around the driveline,that's falcons for ya run forever

All falcons came with alluminated swiches but people put the cheap ebay aftermaket ones in that do not have it but they work great

I had this colour and ford did repaint it but were very keen for me to talk about it. I know that it began to come off again so it wasn’t a great outcome for it, other than that it was a great car👍🏻

How much did you buy it for? I think I might do this as a side hustle... anything under 1 grand is a bargain for sure you can flip it and atleast triple or even quadruple your investment

damage on the left hand front corner .

People asking what you paid for it 😂 - 100% your biz ...

Wow! My 2010 Territory 7 Seater AWD Ghia in better condition than that, had less damage than this & was written off by NRMA. You mean I could have bought it off pickles, fixed it, re-registered it and kept driving it?

The power window switches may have been upgraded to illuminate, it was a matter of soldering in the SMD LEDs and resistors. If they didn't have the illumination wire the power could be jumped internally to the window power. They would illuminate full time while igintion was on.

Nice score bro. the mk2's had all the fruit.

Dude don't tell folks about pickles. It's better they don't know then we still get the bargains.. It's been getting harder in last 2 years everyone keeps telling others about it n drives up the prices..

Stolen recovery cross border re-registration back on a lot for sale some one buys it and gets finance with add one insurance policy a secured vehicle title hold threw some dodgy broker and yer everyone is laughing till something may be fails but they wouldn't expect all that when buying. Not to say your dodgy or anything but this is how the car industry is now left to operate under at the end users expense.

So much for the days when the system was more legit and honest.

Then again never was it's just scaling up.

Was that Pickles Bibra Lake? How hard was their process to buy a salvage car? could you pick it up with a ute and car trailer or does it have to be a proper tilt-tray truck? did you look at the car before placing bids online? do you have to do a driver induction before you're allowed to pick up a car?

Did you just buy it online and if so did you just pick it up
