F6RD Donating Members 249 Member For: 16y 26d Gender: Male Posted 08/09/08 07:44 AM Author Share Posted 08/09/08 07:44 AM Cheers man yeah I thought it was a decent price, looking around now at what they cost. hopefully it hasnt been thrashed to much. The colour is mercury silver which I really like. My fairmont is mercury silver so im stoked. I bought it from a private seller in NSW. For some reason most cars there are cheaper even when they live so close to the victorian border. Cant wait! just gotta wait for the money to come in and then ill be in turbo heven.

If not it might have been pranged. also when you test drive, get the owner to take you for a spin first, and take note of how he/she drives it. other than that mate just browse the tech forums, should give you a fair idea of what generally goes wrong with em. good luck!
