Ford Falcon AU II XL Ute - Suitable for farm duties, garden and waste disposal - Service history

Driveable Ford Falcon AU II XL Ute
- Working Air-Con
- Engine in decent condition. Gasket was replaced
- Near new Muffler
- New Radiator and tubes
- Service History. Looked after the important stuff.
- Still driveable and decent for its age.

I'm upgrading and car still have value in it. I no longer need a ute and the car is old. Engine is fairly good but the handling honestly is mediocre. I have been driving up and down the M4 and it might be better suited for someone scrapping or doing gardening on the weekends and so forth. The model itself can do with having weight in the back when you drive i.e. a toolbox, mower, old bags of cement, etc.

No oil leaks, fluids have been changed regularly.

2nd owner. I kept it serviced and fixing up the issues. Parts and labour are cheap.

Continental automatic transmission behind the steering wheel. Rego expires mid August.

Negatives:

- Cosmetic damage all over the place. Everything is pre-dented and scratched already, including a horse chewing on the side of it.
- Faulty fault light on dash, turned out to be painted over with black paint by used car sellers. Fault is a fault with the fault light for the radiator. Radiator itself is fine and new as mentioned. You can see the temp on the dash anyway. However it can cause you trouble at registration if you go somewhere strict. A local mechanic has passed it fine for several years.
- Two big dents in rear panel and a crack in a lens.
- Plywood in back screwed down onto tray. Can be removed.
- Steering wheel chewed on by dog (replacement $120 apx).
- Steering wheel controls chewed on by dog, don't respond. ($70 apx to replace).
- Radio requires a security code. I believe it's in the manual but can't locate it to get it to work again. Reset from cleaning up battery terminals.
- Fabric dropping around pilot light.
- Crack from a kick in passenger door. Passenger door has to be opened from inside. Speaker is okay.

Positives:

This is still a reasonably working car for its age, its just old. Still has benefit for someone after one to earn money, clear out a deceased estate, run errands, etc.
