I hate people calling a car with 182,000km on it immaculate, but hell, that one is pretty tidy. Probably the best for the year.

Looks very nice. The money you saved on the Ford you probably lost on the Subaru
Good motoring if you get 5 years out of it.

A car can be immaculate despite the motor.
182K on a well looked after Falcon is nothing.

The subaru we swapped for a primera. So havent actually paid anything as such money wise but still we lost on the primera. But yeah happy with the falcon for sure.

90% of the time "they" have no idea what they are talking about.

nothing like a trusty Falcon. Bet it gives you many years of trouble free motoring.Mines a 1998 and I'm in no hurry to sell it. Reliable as.

Yes, but its not the motor, everything is worn from pedals, steering wheel, seats, suspension, gearbox. By definition something with that much wear cannot be immaculate. It can be in bloody good shape for it's age etc.

A lot of car for the money. By pass the original in radiator trans cooler and fit an external one to the front of the radiator/air con condensor.

our 1998 VW Passat has about double the features of the Falcon, is safer, uses less fuel, probably equal boot space (ours being a wagon) and was half the price of this Falcon. I really like buying euro cars in this country.

So your comparing a 98 Passat Wagon to a 03 Falcon!

I would rather be in a crash in a Falcon than a Passat. Compare a base model Passat to this falcon and the features are similar. You forgot the passat wagons load space is a joke compared to a Flacon wagon. You also forgeot to mention the passat will fail to pull a drunken sailor off your sister even with the gutless 1.8t. You obviously haven't realisedthat the big Aussie 6s are capable of achieving low 7l/100km on the highway. They can also tow 2 tonne with ease, fit 5 adults and cover half a million km with minor R&M. You cannot compare a Passat to a Falcon, as an all rounder a Falcon shits all over it. Yep I like Euro cars but theres a reason why I like Aussie cars more.
