Ive been offered a 2000 AU 2 Fairmont Ghia ,92000k,Tickford wheels and suspension and full leather by a family member for $14000.
Is this a good price and what should i look for?

check out redbook.com.au and carsales.com.au, they won't give you definate prices (nothing or nobody can - but will give you a good idea).
What do you mean by what should you look for? what problems? well if it's a family member that you trust then ask them about any issues/problems! besides that just the obvious - signs of damage or repairs, etc. |

thats about the going price for an au2 ghia.
i almost (just missed out) got an au2 fairmont for $10,000 with 120,000km. cheap for what it was, but someone else got it before me.

check for power steering leaking onto your alternator ... front suspension clunking in and out of driveways ... gearbox leaks ... sump gasket/oil pressure switch leaks ... another thing is rear shock mounts on the IRS models had issues as well.
Just a few things to look for.

I think all AU Fairlanes were 5.0

i think youll find 99% of au fairmont ghias had a 4.0 vct engine. very few had the 5l option, though well worth it if you can get one... the 4l is suprisingly good with the vct, but is a bit hard on the fuel, and a bit sluggish due to being fuelled down (you need a capa edit for them to scream properly)...
im getting my capa edit done very very soon.. like 2 weeks away, cant wait!!!

That's a funny comment because the V.C.T. engine actually produces its torque higher in the rev range that the HP.... |
