The only special thing about this car is the Kms as far as i can see...

So basically it's an S2 Fairmont Ghia with a hell ugly bodykit, ugly chrome wheels and low kays.

$45000, what a joke. Where do people get their figures from? Do they even look at what's out there in the market for a similar price?

"signed on air bag cover by Craig Lowndes"

That adds about 10G's right there... LOL

A stripe package might add a few more $$$ too...

Maybe market value is a little less ambitous

"5.0ltr V8 tickford"

Why is it that as soon as it has a V8 in it people suddenly say "It must be a Tickford!!".

I'll bet that its a stocko 175kw standard AU V8. It certainly wont be a 200 or 220 in it thats for sure.

He's asking more that most are asking for a T Series. Insanity springs to mind.

Not only that Darky, but you can pick up a low k GT for that price. Now lemme see. A BA GT or an AU Fairmont for $45,000. Its gonna be hard to choose.

Believe me, none of the kids that ride on the disabled bus would even give a damn about money. They certainly wouldn't ask for money of that kind anyhow. Don't compare them to this goose. They are not that stupid.

isn't that like, the new price?

Prices based on km 90,000 - 150,000
Trade in price guide* $7,500 - $8,900
National average price - private sale* $9,900 - $11,500
Price when new (RRP) $49,835

ok, so, this has lower than average km's, meaning, its probably worth $12,000 - $13,000... but, ah... three times that much? lol

I second that people too often use the handicaped as a way to insult others when in reality they are often much better people that the target of the ridicule and the person offering the insult
