I've had the priviledge of taking passengers before too
Also it is not a slow car by any means, so it's great to see the look on some Dunnydoor driver's faces when being passed by an ex Ford cab.

Kms don't mean much to me either.

Various places, auctions, trading post or even for sale out the front of most Cab Depots, but those may have very high kms.

Mine had 320,000kms when I got it (repo). It was only 3 years old too (AU2).

You can pick AU1's up from $2000 - $3000 or AU2's from $2500 - $4500, got mine for $2800 last year.

just make sure when u look at em u go over them well... because of they kms they have travel there will be extra wear and tear

mainly trans, engine, diff most taxis ive been a passenger in have problems with that, if it doesnt feel right i would try another 1 because u can pick up some winners but then u can also get some pretty bad lemons (learned from experience unfortunality)
