I am having a hard time decideing on which car i should get to replace my eb.
the first car is a 1993 4.0L auto nc 2 fairlane with a/c, p/s, 6 cd stacker, premium sound system, abs, cruise control, electric mirrors and windows, and a factory electric sunroof and tint. the second car is a 1997 4.0L auto el fairmont ghia sedan with a/c, p/s, electric windows and mirrors, abs, cruise control, cd stacker, tickford motor, daul airbags and full leather interior. both are around the same price but they both have features that i like. so what are peoples thoughts |

I have 2 x 12" in my boot and still can carry around lawn mowers and heap of other huge stuff....... Unless you are doing a full boot install you shouldnt have an isse with the boot size.............. Has any one got the measerments on how much bigger that NC's boot is to the EL?

i chose the fairlane because deep down its what you want and if you only like the el for the leather then dw about getting it.

Take LTDHO's LTD for example, very similar to a Fairlane, very tough looking ride he has. so this proves they can look awesome.
On the other hand a ratty looking NC Fairlane, well it'll look ratty! The EL will proberly be a better choice as it'll already be nice and clean.

el for sure there is more boot room in an nc and yes the sunroff may be there in the nc as well but seriously think about how often you will use it, the nc are a slug in a standard for where as an el has bbm better economy etc, i went from an nc ghia to a ef futura sure i didnt get as much in features but i love the car a lot more

Well I'd go LWB because I love them. However the EL has more options and is newer. So I'd probably go the EL.

this morning i put a deposit on a 1997 el futura. 4.0L auto, drilled and slotted brakes all round, sports exhaust, lowered suspension, tinted windows, cd player, el gt wheels, AU xr leather momo sports steering wheel and a body kit similar to a venom kit for $5500 plus transfer fees so $5750 drive away
