Still cheap for a straight cleaning looking rolling shell ... if it runs ... even better.
Good shell for a project vehicle for that price.

Looks pretty good for the price. I doubt it's injected.

A tyre-kicker is someone that comes just for a look, has no intention of buying and does things such as kicking tyres (which proves nothing).

Nothing too wrong with the carby models .... fair enough they weren't as powerful at the injected versions ... but if in good tune ... will still run well.

thanks to everyone who answered the tyre kicking question lol. i might get it cheaper because it probably needs to be towed home, i'm pretty sure it has no rego left.

Dont' hassle if you don't get it. You can look at cars, get all worked up about one and then not get it. After a while another turns up and you have no regrets at all.

Yeah ... so probably has a pink slip ... or an NRMA certificate ... but I'd say no rego for that price though ... as it does look in good nick (depends on the mechanicals though).

I'd take a carbed 250 over an injected anyday. I've probably been in 8 XF's and half of em' were injected which were all gutless (read more gutless) compared to the carbied ones.

sorry but how old r u dude? i worked out immediatly you are young.
if you dont have your P's honestly i would do what i am doing and every bit of money you get put in the bank and do not touch it. when you get your P's or are about to then go get a car and you will have enough money to get a good reliable car straight up.
but thats just what id do.
