1983 Ford Falcon XE review from Australia and New Zealand
"Have YOU driven a Ford lately?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Thermostat needed to be replaced.
Kilometers counter has stop.
Steering Box broke.
Some Rust.
General comments?
Whoever said Fords were not good cars did not know what they were talking about.
I was given this car from my Dad.
The car came lowered, 2 1/2 inch exhaust the whole length, Extractors in pretty mink condition.
The car is one of the most reliable car I have driven. I replaced the engine due to the age of the car it was only a matter of time before something went wrong.
The whole engine was replaced. The car was even smoother then before.
The XE Ford is a very rare car to find in mink condition.
If you find one it is a great investment.
The ultimate car for cruising, And a very reliable car for a family.
The XE is a very underrated car and even now is a better buy then new model cars.
