Yeah, I'm not interested in paying dumb money for a falcon, kingswood, commo or toyota, patrol etc; neither would I take a modern euro that's semi broken or cheap. But older ones were fine and because of opinions like yours, cheap in comparison. E: my 2005 BA ute cost me $15500 (in 2010) and I've had to rebuild trans ($4k), it has electrical gremlins, needs a respray, did headliner some rubber, gaskets brakes. My 1990 e34 cost me $2400 (in 2017), I did headliner and some rubber, hoses, gaskets, susp and brakes, (about $4k). No electrical gremlins, can still buy most parts, doesn't need a respray! Probably worth more than the falcon these days as well. Don't mean to bite your head off., but the conversation ended up talking about a 2001 merc. While there's some iconic mercs around the owners aren't really in the diy category and neither were the landrovers you mentioned. I first liked maxdas, then fords, then bmws, going back into the hey days where they'd be running around bathurst (falcons, rx3s, bmws etc) Last edited by oldel; 08-05-2022 at 11:53 PM. |
