A few years ago (about 1999) I bought an XF ex-cab. I paid about $1500 and it had approx 350,000km on the clock: it was only a cab for about a year as their "proper" cab was written off so they transferred all the taxi gear into their family sedan. The motor was tired, I knew that when I bought it, but the rest of the car was surprisingly good. I drove approx another 100,000km trouble free (I did replace the motor).
As others have said, if you look around and know what you are looking at you can find some good ex-taxis. I've seen a VT Commodore ex-taxi that was a real POS, it was sold to the wreckers for only a few hundred $$ and that was over it's value IMO (not because it was a Commodore, just because it was a POS!) It had several body repairs that were just bogged up and painted with spray can (overspray everywhere) so I can only imagine what the mechanicals were like. |
