Lol!^^^^Had to have a giggle at that,that is a very straight coon for the price Jason18 and its still got hundreds of thousands of k's in it if serviced on a regular basis.

I sold a car last week with 270000km that was immaculate. For the last 12 years it was insected every year and any thing that needed attention was fixed. So a car with 181000km on it can be immaculate. Converesly a car with 50000km on it can be knackered.

I hate people saying a car with 182,000km can not be immaculate.

So you could get in and drive this car and nothing, I mean nothing, would indicate that it was not new or near new. Obviously your meaning of immaculate is different to mine.

Heh, there's always one malcontent no matter how harmless the thread.
Enjoy the car, dude. A Supercharged VX V6 would probably "$h!t all over it", but somehow I doubt you care about that.

I have owned a 1998 Falcon and I have owned a 1998 VW Golf. No comparison. The golf was an utter pile of dog pooze compared to the Falcon.

I think it is obvious you know what neither 'immaculate' nor 'mint' means.

I understand all that, also, this wasn't a falcon wagon. I was implying the boot space of a Passat wagon is probably similar to that of a Falcon sedan. - i was replying to the poster that stated "its a lot of car for the money' . My car was half the price and has more 'features'. I used to own a falcon whilst living in aussie, have owned a vr commy here and i do like the bigger aussie cars, especially if you are a 1 car family (we are, ihave a work van). I always end up browsing VY and later commodores, but hell they aint cheap overhere.

The argumentative type huh!
yeah I do, and I do not wish to argue about my opinion. And "mint" is a slang term, not the same as stating "mint condition"

i am surprised you didn't suggest a steaming pile of s**t accord instead! your not right in the head are you mayes! if i was looking for a car i would have also brought that Falcon for the money simply sh*ts on an accord that is supposedly worth twice as much, a 2.4l accord euro wouldn't pull wrong2 of mayes.
scotty20001,

no offence mate i like Passats and a family member drives a 2.3L V5 very nice quiet soft riding car but certainly wouldn't out pull a Falcon 6 (believe me i have tried)it did out pull an accord thai though not bad for a heavy car with 100cc less engine capacity (maybe it was mayes i thrashed on that merging lane) who knows but he seems to have a bee in his bonnet the moment you suggest anything can out pull his beloved 2.4l accord, i haven't seen a 1.8t Passat with cruise control yet even our V5 doesn't have it so the Falcon is better spec in that regard

It's probably been repainted, I believe that colour was prone to paint peeling within the first few years and Ford had to repaint many cars under warranty.
