I have a question re what to buy

mickyj · 10-03-2011, 11:56 AM

So I own a AU Falcon bought it second hand .With my house on the market I will have the funds shortly to do either(wont be buying another place sad but true) .
A Totally fix up the old girl (a few things need fixing that add up to $$) and put her on LPG
B buy a new Ford already on LPG
C If I do B then get my youngest on her L's and fix up the mechanical things on the au and she can drive it (not put it on gas at this stage)

Ok if I go for option B which I am leaning more to as the week goes along .For the first time in 30 yrs I can buy a new Ford .

So what should I get
A falcon on Gas or duel fuel
Or is there something else out there in ford land that comes on gas and I can use around town and go fishing .
Cheers
PS
I have time to decide house hasn't been sold yet

I wouldnt be buying a new car.
Buy one thats a year or 2 old.

..... or a 2010 plated demo if you are considering new. Have alook at the 50th anniversary range. Very good kit for the money if you are going down the B track.

Go with option B mate. You'll feel better being in a near newish car and your daughter will also be happy to get her L's. It's win win!

You won't be able to buy a brand new Falcon with factory gas due to the fact they don't make them at the moment. Something to consider.........

Now the question is do I buy a falcon a mondeo or a 4wd
Yes I could afford any of them when the $$$ come in

drive them all and see what your happy with, a new model x with gas injection would be a bit of allright imo.

How about waiting until later in the year when the new LILPG and EcoBoost 4cyl Falcon's are released before making up your mind. I'm waiting for them to come out before making up my mind.

Depending on your finances and you're happy with buying brand new and the depreciation take this option.

However, you can pick up XT/G6/G6E LPGs for a really good price. We've sold a few lately ranging from 10,000kms-40,000kms. Just got a 20k km G6. Massive saving over factory prices.

OR buy an XR6 and have direct injection LPG fitted to it?

I have to wait until my house is sold .Plus it may well be the second and the last time I could ever afford to buy a brand new car . So I'm jumping the gun a bit here lol.
