My wife has a car also and I wouldn't put the Mondeo out in the weather so at the moment that dream of a XR8 will have to wait.
The local Ford Dealer is up the road from our place and there's been a FG XR6 Turbo for sale been there for about two months.
its got 89,316 ks on it and its $33,888. theres also a XR8 but didn't look at the price on that.
I went to my mechanic last week for new pads and a pink slip as the Mondeo is due for Rego at the end of August.
My Mechanic says :This car of yours will never die and he thinks its because all the Highway driving it does.
When my wife and I brought the Mondeo the idiot sales man says to me " its
got a sealed for life transmission (which it hasn't) and don't worry about the transmission service"
thank goodness I never took his word for it and I found the transmission dipstick myself and have had the transmission serviced a few times.
Like some reviews I have read about the Mondeo which are not too flash I have read some not too flash reviews about the AU Falcon but tell the truth I don't take much notice of reviews because every body's opinion is different any way.
cheers mate

Sorry , I missed your post until today , been offline for a fair few days for different reasons but that Falcon sounds like an FGX at that price I'd say ..Absolute rocket is the turbo they are . So is the XR8 of course .
I wonder how the Mondeo would have gone if they had of actually spent some money advertising it. Actually the other day I saw a lovely station wagon Mondy parked at work . Very very nice indeed and I reckon if I bought one I'd go that way . Seemed to have lots of room too which I'd like .
