Budget is $10k.

Someone mentioned an egas Falcon (AU). The missus has one and it is what we are getting rid of. It is a pain in the proverbial, always playing up.

Saying that, a BF that we will make dual fuel is one of our options. Plenty of info on these already on the forum lol

What is playing up on the AU? They are fairly simply beasts and shouldnt cost much more than a small percentage of your budget to fix up.

Doesnt really make sense to spend money to try and save it...

There has been a couple of engine issues related to the gas system plus generally it hasn't been well looked after. Nothing against Falcons, but I hate this one and it isn't worth salvaging.

If we get another Falcon, it will need to be a BF with a 6 speed auto. Happy with any model.
