FPV F6 Typhoon: Known issues

Most of the issues were problems with the BA-BF Falcon, but there were few specific problems relating to the F6 Typhoon. Perhaps the main one is a problem with the auto trans cooler, which can fail and allow transmission oil to mix with coolant and damage the transmission. Other than that look for signs of the car being thrashed, go for one that has been looked after.

FPV ute with best appreciation rate?

It’s really hard to say, particularly because the “end of the day” is a very long way off. Any appreciation you might see will be many years away. Both could well appreciate eventually if you’re prepared to wait long enough, but the 2012 Pursuit might be the better choice simply because of its lower build number and supercharged engine.

FPV collectability

The GT and its derivatives should be the ones with the most appeal to collectors in the future. The GT badge is one of the most iconic of all in Australia, so that should be a no-brainer. Look for a one-owner car, make sure it's a numbers-matching example, and go for the classic colours, with stripes where they were optional. I don't think the interior trim material will make much difference. As for the odometer, go for the lowest possible.
