Ive decided to buy my missus another car to haul the ever expanding family around in. Weve got two EAs currently and i was gonna replace the rather worn out "S" station wagon with another wagon but in better condition. I reccon gas is the go with current fuel costs. Its gotta have air/ heaters, no climate control ( ive learnt that from our fairmont ghia with no heaters). And i think id stick with an auto as i have a bung left knee and my missus isnt real keen on changing cogs.
I guess i want something that is gonna give me minimal grief. So anyways, has anyone got any tips or ideas regarding buying, reliability etc? Any input would be great. |

Yeah, even BA's are getting pretty cheap. Look at the early ones - 09/2002 was when they were released. Go to some ex fleet auctions. Had a customer tell me the other day that he could not justify buying a new one coz he found a second hand one 12/2002 white, 90000k's $12000.00 I'd say good buy, even with the k's
