Ford Falcon

Forget the Falcon get a Camry and as for lemons it's a lottery our 98 Falcon wagon was a lemon but one of my work mates has the same model, even the colour is the same and he has had no trouble at all.

Good hunting

Personally I would stick with falcon or holden as they are the cheapest to keep on the road for servicing, parts and aftermarket bits and acces. I am a falcon man and have had an excellent run over the years, my most recent upgrade was an EF Futura, duel fuel, 1994, done 90,000 ks for $6000 in as new condition.
Not sure of the model you are looking at for 10k but the only model that had a bad name was the first model AU, but I think most of the niggling problems would be sorted out by now. Mate just went to the govt auctions and bought a BA Futura 14 months old 40,000ks with 22months new car warranty still to go for $20,800 in excellent cond. Might be a way to get a good car for wholesale money. Happy shopping, there are a huge range to choose from in yards these days and some excellent private deals too.

Pelesino,

Over the years I have tried to keep an open mind about car marques but every time I have owned or driven a car with the oval badge it was a lemon!

Either they had handling problems, reliability problems or a mix of both but all had resale value problems.

Go to a ex govt auction and look at the comparison betweem Holdens and Fords of equivalent age and specs and you will find that the Fords are $2 to $4 Thousand Dollars less for the same age and condition and spec for the same car as time goes by the gap widens. It's a big price to pay for brand loyalty.

Please Consider.
