A lot of ppl may have followed my post on wether I should buy it or not.

I paid 6K for it. Its a V8, but has a few kms, like 230,000.

Goes good, since buying it I have found out that it has new suspension, radiator, tyres etc.

Only problems so far has been low oil pressure at idle sometimes

Cheers and thanks

It is a very neat car, only blemish in the interior is the drivers door handle, which has a little bit of the foam coming out,so you see a little yellow showing. Also there is a hole in the leather drivers side.
I have had it on the hoist, there is no oil leaks what so ever. I was totally suprised. I was expecting some given the kms and age

Hi not sure if it is Borossa red. Owners manual just states red. Couldnt resist, just spent 280 dollars on a 2.5 inch system from cat back. Nothing special just to get that v8 note.

I will spend more on exhaust later. Think window tinting will be first thing.

AUI Fairmont Ghia V8 top of the line in 98.

Lovely car and high k on the V8 can be fine if its lead a quiet country life.
