CAR: Jan 1992 V8 Fairmont
ODOMETER: 153,484
HISTORY / OWNERS: Was purchased brand new in geelong back in 92 by an old couple in their 60's. They sold the car at 70,000km and then a 50 year old guy picked it up. He was a ford fanatic (who worked on the GT HO engines back in the 70's) and he kept the car immaculant. Then i got it for $4600 and its perfect condition, everything is still original from the spare tyre right to the engine and trans.Hey the car even comes with an old persons smell.
SERVICE: Got all service records (with original manual book) from minor to major services, no crash records or respray done. After 14 years the paint still glows!!

And thats only my first car.

Car: 1995 EF 5spd XR6 Station Wagon

Odo: 249,000km

Previous Owners : 1 - Previous owner owned a garage at Port Hedland (WA) Traded in Perth at 73,000 Kms (2000)

History: Was looking for a V8 Fairmont wagon and the XR had just been traded - saw it on a Sunday - Brought it on the Monday. (especially when I saw it was a manual)

Service : Full log book service from the day it rolled off the floor, serviced every 5,000km (Tuned every 10,000) since I brought it. The last year or so has been a bit expensive - L/S Diff rebuilt, Change over Gearbox / new Clutch (three weeks ago) Another full set of Brakes / pads and due for a new set of tyres (maybe new mags too). But the one thing I expected to fail hasn't. (Headgasket)

Would I trade it? Not on your nellie.
