This is from a mate who can not post here due to insufficient post count:

I'm after an ED onwards in good condition, auto, for under $3000.
My last car was an 84 cressida, and it had problems in the head as soon as i bought it which would have costed more to fix than the car was worth.
So I've written it off and am starting from scratch. I am now after something reliable that will easily pass rego and last me for a while.

So if anyone has seen anything on the market recently please let us know.

mmm
for $3k you would pickup a decent eb/eb2, possibly an ed gli with a few ks on it.
ef probably not, unless something high ks or ex taxi.
but you never know with these things, some people sell cars super super cheap!

call around to a few cab base's ! or EBAY

Try the auctions. There are always a lot of Falcs going through there. Just gotta be careful, as you can't drive them before purchase.
