Dont write off all Falcons, I have the 4 litre Ford Fairmont from 1994 that I bought for 2k, So far it's done Dampier and back and Ravensthorpe and back, to the city and back countless times  and runs like a swiss watch. Good on fuel and uses bugger all oil.  Going to be my sons car when he finally gets his license.

 

Cheers

Dale
