FORD FALCON Used Car Review

The Ford Falcon was Australia's longest continuously running nameplate up to the cessation of local production in October 2016 - 56 years after it debuted as a US-based model. Ford's large car started to become more Australianised from the 1970s and it would eventually compete against the Holden Commodore in a famously fierce local rivalry. There were luxury models such as the Fairlane and LTD, ute spin-offs, and sportier models such as the XR6 Turbo and V8-powered XR8 of more recent times.

Pros

Cons

  • Roomy and comfortable interiors
  • Wide range of models
  • Excellent, torquey six-cylinder engines
  • Engineered specifically for Australian roads
  • Thirsty LPG engines
  • Taxi stigma
  • No longer in production

I am selling the car which was my dads but he passed away and I have no need for it. please note it will be sold without plates or registration. I have left it registered to all potential buyers an opportunity to test drive it. He was driving it the day before he died It is noisy on start up due to the cam phaser shaft which could do with a repair. He drove it with the noise as we weren't sure how long he would be driving it so didn't fix it. It is a really nice car to drive with lots of power.

!!!PLEASE READ!!! This car is being sold as is and it has problems! I am firm on the price. Problems are; Radiator or Thermostat! It is still drivable but if idles too much it will overheat. I have been driving this car with the heater running which this time of year is ok. I personally believe it is a blockage in the radiator and would need replacing or flushing but I am not a mechanic. It could be the thermostat which is a cheaper fix. It was very recently serviced and had an oil pressure

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: FORD FALCON (FG, 2008-2016)

Watch out for a used Falcon that has been abused by a previous fleet-operator owner.

Clunks over bumps can mean worn suspension bushes.

A pulsing through the car when you apply the brakes probably means worn and warped front brake rotors. Sometimes these can be repaired, but usually new rotors are the best strategy.

The automatic transmission has an external fluid cooler, but these can fail, allowing coolant into the gearbox where it quickly wrecks both the mechanical and electronic functions of the automatic. Check the transmission fluid for milkiness that suggests the coolant and oil have mixed. If they have mixed, give that car a miss.

Make sure the central locking works perfectly, as this is an early sign of a failing body computer.

Check for low coolant level in the radiator. An O-ring at the back of the water pump is a common cause of coolant loss.
