Hey guys.
Would appreciate some help and advice. Ford owner in previous life (& country) but currently living in NZ and driving a mitsy family car for last 5 years. Friend has offered me his 2001 Fairmont AuII for a private sale. Its done 158K - primarily open road, coast to coast driving. Serviced by local ford dealer. Looks cosmetically in good condition by all accounts. I trust him and he said its run well for him over the last 5 years. He bought it from his accountant in 2004. The K's are putting me off slighty as the current mitsy diamante (1997) has done 136K and sounds like a dying dog. Appreciate this the following is crystal ball gazing but at this level of k's what would I primarily be looking for mechanically with regards major overhaul in the next 12 months+..shocks, joints etc? Appreciate this is an enthusiasts forum but do these engines run and run and is 160,000 K still light in terms of useage? Thanks for any inputs, tips or advice you can shed. The price in Kiwi $ would be around the $8500 mark. Cheers Ged |
