G'day guys,
Recently I've sold my ED, and I was looking for a NF/NL v8 Fairlane, but looking over the markets, I have come to realise that an AU1 XR8 may be within reach. IF i was to buy one, I would prefer a manual with decent k's and in good nick. How much would I generally be looking at for such a car? And what should I look out for? Up untill this point, I have only owned E-series falcons and fairlanes, so the Au would be a little different to what I am used to. Would I be unrealistic to set a budget of around 10 - 11k for a good manual AU1 XR8? Thanks guys

Well, I don't need a manual, but it would be nice...
This is the ad that sparked my intrest in the Au... FORD FALCON XR8 1999 blue 5spd man sed, p/s, a/c, sunroof, p/w, full XR8 options, alloys, spoiler, 129,000kms, 12mths rego & RWCert, VGC, $9800 Sounds like a bargain to me, pending an extensive check of course... Of course, I also wouldn't say no to an AU Ghia... V8 of course
