Default buying a new car.

hey everyone, i havnt been on for a while as ive moved out of home.
its coming time to get a new car and im getting real fond of EF/EL's.
i origianally wanted an xr6 but i know i will die without another v8 so i might get an 8 even if they arent as quick.

ive found a '94 falcon 5lt, BA xr6 mags, 139000ks, super low springs, 5spd manual , cd and xr8 buckets. they want $6000 for it do you all think this is good? i reckon it sounds like a bargain and id be willing to spend my extra money on working the engine.

Mate, whats wrong with the good old van?

I reckon that sounds like a nice car. The 5 speed would be a bit of fun.
Dont forget to haggle. Tell them youll give them 5300 or something and see how much you can get off.

Good luck mate!
