Ok...been looking around and come across a car for sale but have never heard of the damn thing. It's a 1990 Fairlane NA (didn't even know they made an NA model). Paint is the old blue/grey, interior is all velour, electric dash and cruise control....now......has anyone ever heard of this model? If so....can ya give me a heads up on what they're like?
Cheers.

The NA Fairlane is based on the EA Falcon. Being a 1990 model, it should be like the EAII which got the 4spd auto and was a big improvement on the 88' models. If looked after, they can be a great car. They can blow headgaskets occasionally, and check that all the power windows work smoothly. Overall, if it runs well and everything works, I'd buy it. For more info check the brochure scans http://www.fordforums.com.au/photos/...ry.php?cat=505

It's basically a Longer Fairmont. Not a bad buy as long as it has been looked after and has low klms. Have you had a look through the For Sale section here??

I've had 2 of them.. I love them.. so big and cruisey
 Definite problems to look out for are the power windows, they have a habit of jamming and being really really slow to go up.. Make sure the digital dash, all the characters etc are lit up. I was missing a few pieces of numbers on one of them, made it hard to tell if it was 8 or 0, 1 or 7, etc :P Apart from that they're very reliable cars i've found.. I drove mine HEAPS and had no major problems with either. |

Oh yeah if your worried about looks, drop it on is guts and 17" , and perhaps respray to black, and you have the ultimate cruiser/mafia car
I wouldnt go anything bigger than 17s, as bigger will make it look like a 4wd, the cars have a nice look to it with a sleek look. |

If you can try to get an NC2 Fairlane. Specs are pretty much the same on paper, but they are a much better car. Interior is a million miles ahead.
17"? 17" is not pimp spec! Mine's getting 18" MINIMUM. |

Hey Roses, being blonde and female is not an excuse for not knowing about cars. :P
There are a few women on here, and some know more than some of the guys (not me though, I'm still learning).
