Keep on top of gearbox fluid and filter changes (VERY IMPORTANT), you probably already know that but anyway. Also don't be surprised if it does a head gasket, it will most likely be coolant out the exhaust side of the head.
Nice car though, good low k's. I bought one for my wife not too long ago for $10750 no trade in (private sale). It had 117,000 on the clock, beutifull car, great condition. Good luck with yours, you'll be happy with it. |

Nice car
As for problems just the regular E-series stuff, nothing specific to Fairmont or Ghia Headgasket- Keep the cooling system serviced Brake Disc Warpage (Not really a big problem) BTR 4sp Auto- Keep it serviced well, these can go anytime really Aircon Vacuum control and the climate control Yellow Headlights and Brake Light switches This may sound like a long list, but E-series are pretty reliable cars and if serviced well they can handle the best Australian roads can throw at it for a long time and parts are plentiful and cheap
