Default Car hunting in SA

So im currently hunting for a car.

hoping a XC, but really I'd be happy with XA XB XC.

Trouble is I cant seem to stir up the kind of car im looking for.

I'm looking for something half decent in the middle all i can find at the moment are 40k restos and 2k rust buckets

Was hoping the ford nuts would be able to point me in the direction of a good starting point.

plenty interstate but I wasn't hugely keen on going interstate unless i absolutly had too

Its interstate, Vic, but might be worth a look IMO.

nothing ever in the good midrange of 10-20k in SA.. then you look interstate and there's tough as streeters with worked motors/good paint that dont cost a fortune

lol i like the "question" at the bottom about how the price of XC crossflow's are going up quickly & how it will be worth over 100k in a few years

they wouldnt happen to know the seller by any chance

The other issue is, my budget keeps going up which is putting me dangerously close to coupe territory

Ya never know do ya?

Does look like its a decent example of a stock unmolested 6 though. Probably a shame to molest it, Id happily cruise in it as is. There couldnt be too many unmolested XC's in good nick still out there.
