Selling on behalf of godparents, been within a great family the entire life of the car, and selling as has been replaced by a Mazda 3.

Model: GLI Falcon

Year: 1996

Colour: Heritage (Dark green)

Body: 4 door sedan

Engine: 4.0L V6

Transmission: Auto

Odometer: 240xxx

Rego: March 2011

Goodies

THIS CAR HAS A TOWBALL

Air con is regassed and will freeze you, stereo is aftermarket (fitted pro style via Jb/Hi) with usb/ipod plug in, two new pioneer speakers and goes fairly loud considering there's no amp.

Central locking and alarm is all working, battery in buzzer is a little flat though.

There is full service books completed from day one, showing every single cent spent on this car. This includes a new radiator a couple years back, re gassing of struts, and the list goes on with major services etc.

Transmission is in good shape (can be a common problem). Anyone with experience in Falcons of this era know these engines can go onwards of 400k+ with the right treatment, and this car has been treated very well (with full papers to back it up).

Badies

Small panel damage on rear right hand side door, nothing serious and easily repairable for 100$.

Both mirrors have been side swiped, and being hit and run dodgeys, they have not been repaired. I will replace these upon agreement with sale and for RWC.

Personally, I've known this family for as long as I can remember, and they're not the 'she'll be right' kind of people you get. Something goes wrong, they send it off to a mechanic straight away and pay what it costs. I've been in this car, I know how they drive, and they're all grannies.

Surprisingly, I found fuel consumption not too bad, averaging around 12-14l/100k

More photos upon request.

Asking $2900 with rego and RWC

Or, $2400 without either and you can grab mirrors from the wreckers yourself

Both are ONO, am flexible. I know the market price on these cars, but this one is the best condition of this car I have seen, you know you're not buying a lemon.

I'm in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne

Can give me a buzz on 0438 378 277

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
