Price Guide: $35,000 - $48,000
2004 Ford Falcon BA MK II XR8 Ute, 5.4-litre Boss 260 naturally aspirated V8, six-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, 43,695km, two seats, one owner from new.
Description
The BA XR8 Ute is one of the most desirable pieces of Australian performance heritage. Ford paired the 5.4-litre Boss 260 V8 with a six-speed manual gearbox and shoehorned the whole thing into a ute body, creating a performance utility that Holden fans would need a V8 SS or HSV Maloo to answer. This 2004 MK II example in Metallic Mandarin (Code E2) has covered just 43,695 kilometres from new in single ownership, and the photos confirm every kilometre of that claim.
The Mandarin paint is stunning, holding deep gloss and strong reflections across every panel. Stone chips are minimal and confined to the bonnet leading edge. Panel gaps are tight and consistent throughout. The factory 18-inch XR8 alloys are clean with no notable kerb damage, wearing Dunlop SP Sport 9000 225/40R18 tyres. The tub presents exceptionally well with no marks or scratches to the liner, confirming the vendor's claim that this ute was never used as a workhorse. The Boss 260 engine bay is largely standard with a replacement battery and the factory finned cam cover badging intact. Inside, the black leather and cloth XR8 sport seats retain their orange contrast stitching and present with minimal wear. The dashboard is crack-free, the factory head unit and climate controls are intact, and the footwell shows pedal faces with barely a mark on them. The service logbook records servicing to 43,075km, consistent with the current odometer reading.
Genuine low-kilometre BA XR8 manual utes in this condition are genuinely scarce. Examples with comparable mileage and one-owner history have been selling between $45,000 and $65,000 in private sales, with the rarer manual cars and desirable colours sitting at the upper end of that range. Mandarin is one of the most eye-catching colour options on these utes, and the combination of colour, manual gearbox, low kilometres, and complete documentation makes this a serious collector piece.
