The last Taxi I bought was a sydney car 780,000 on the clock. did 30,000 kays in 9 months in it and quite a few cruises too. I am selling it and I can tell you I will get more than the $1400 I paid for that one.

I am selling it and I can tell you I will get more than the $1400 I paid for that one. I used to work for a panel shop that did mostly taxis in sydney and the amount of them that sounded like the a*** was about to fall out wasn’t funny, both Holden and Ford. F**k front end stuffed breaks taxi diff , list goes on, it used to be bad but its much better now, but ex taxis get more metal fatigue than any other used car. Most ex taxis that do 800.000 + Ks you find they re paint them and sell them as a family car, a few people in Sydney been getting busted for doing it. Yes I bought my EB from a car yard in Sydney, she has done 319000 ks and the yard only had her for 2 weeks b4 I got her and I have been in touch with the last owner and have all the paperwork for everything that’s been done to it from the day it got its first service till now. I don’t know how rough the drivers of taxis are in other states but Sydney are the roughest I know of. As I been told. Only taxis I know that get looked after are ones from silver service Taxis, they keep them like new, they use LTD,s or Statemans.

Yeah I have seen some pretty horrible ones kicking around also but mech/body wise this is rather good, have seen private cars alot worse for 3x the price.
Interior needs a good tidy up, no rips in the seats just really dirty by my standards anyway. when I have a couple of nice sunny days and I get a couple of days off I will attack it. This one had a RWC last september and had some front end work done (got the report from owner) and a few other things that were needed. this one drives very well, alot better than my white one so thats going and the yellow one is staying.

All our taxi's here are white (like Sydney) so the yellow stands out here in SA. Not sure what they are in WA, arent they Orange in QLD??
like the idea of fairmont(ghia) interior tho, that would be nice. I have noticed of late quite a few E-Series and AU's Vic Xcabs getting around here in adelaide but none of them are done up in any way, they still have the grey bars on them, think they would at least clean them up and make them look decent. Thats probably why I want this to look pretty decent, and start a new trend. Dare to be different I reckon. Q. why is it ok to have a Yellow BA but not an AU?

We have orange cabs here, but they're still called "yellow cabs".. we've also got the black and white ones too.
A. Yellow sucks on any falcon imo
Paint it silhouette and do your bezels inside the headlights black like i did with my AU. |

Strange, I remember the Yellow cabs here (back in the kingswood days) were all orange too, never could figure that one out. why not call themselves Orange cabs????? havent had a look at doing the bezels but sounds like a neat idea, how hard is to do? do the len's just clip on?
