 Posted: Fri Jan 21, 2005 2:54 pm Post subject: BA XT vs EL Ghia |
 |
|
I am looking at a new car. I currently have a 98 EL Ghia with all the options - leather, CC, woodgrain, etc etc etc
I have been looking around and the BA is fairly cheap at ex-gov auctions ($20k ish).
What do you think? I'd be giving up my luxury for a newer, more powerful car, with basic interior.
Not sure what to do...
Thanks |

Go hire one for a day and see how you feel.
I have an old AUII Fairmont wagon and in the BA there is only a Futura wagon or Territory ghia to chose from. As a 4wd is not suitable or desirable I looked at the BA Futura wagon but although the motor is good its just not worth trading my fairmont wagon on which is much nicer if a bit old fashioned.
You might be happier to stick with what you have and do it up or look after it really well as its a good model to keep. |

You can get rear wheel drive Territorys though... Or do the GHias only come AWD? |
