Talking Now you do not see this type off add much

Used 2012 FORD FALCON G6



X CATHOLIC CHURCH AS NEW THRU OUT BALANCE FACTORY WARRANTY

So nuns and priests and other church staff do not do burn outs the car has 50k on the clock

but hey if it sells the car and some one is taken in well you never know


A guy in another form bought Landcruiser VDJ76R MY 10 that was from RAC Perth now that sound good and they would look after it

The vehicle needs front and rear wheel bearings at 50k and many mecanincal faults some one found a vidieo of that vehicle and it had a hard life in and out of water and mud lots of trainee crunching gears

so saying a car if from a church ok so what ? it still might be trashed

Just like the 300c I saw for sale. V8 with 22inch rims "Only driven by older lady" maybe true, but really how often do you see old ladies driving V8's with massive bling wheels.

Thats like that Ad that said.... "Only driven by little old lady on Sundays"

But what it meant was that she was the only driver on Sundays.
The rest of the week her ratbag son used it for circle work and street drags!

Hmm, it's not like they could claim it was "unmolested."

I'm not sure why the church would/should be held in higher regard than anyone else selling a car.

I wonder if they did a test like they do in Top gear where they do a scientific test of what bugs and microscopic material in the car

It would be interesting to see what is in that car.

Default Re: Now you do not see this type off add much

there is a news item the other day the new Pope has ordered all of the top end cars some of them included Mercedes Benz be sold and replaced with a much cheaper motor car

So I wonder if this has any thing to do with the sale

So what is a better car for the local Catholic church to be driving

Hyundai may be one of them but some of the small versions much be cheap but I would not like to be a car crash in one

Buying a car that only an old lady has driven is probably not a good idea since it has probably never been above 3000rpm. Isn't it bad for engines to never get used to their full potential?

Same as a "doctors car", just because he/she is a doctor doesn't mean they are good drivers.

Ben73 mate in Perth bought a fully imported jap car some guy in Perth found a loop hole in the system and imported 2nd had cars from Japan

Now most of the cars are 50 ks or under and driven in50 limit peak hour traffic

This skyline had no anti intrusion bars and other safety gear

Now this was 20 years ago

The car was sluggish and had major carbon build up two options one full engine rebuild well he did not have enough money to buy a decent car so that was out.

I filled it up 50%leaded fuel and 50% aviation fuel basically kero and new oil drove it for 400 ks in 3rd gear the back of the car by the end of the trip was black as full of black muck from the engine.

Changed the engine oil again and put a set of hot spark plugs kept him going till he had enough to buy some thing decent in those days it was a XB ford 2 door

but the engine was basically cloged from carbon build up that why I take mine for a good run once in a while , where I live every thing is a max of 15 minutes away and the speed limit in Broken Hill is 50k all over

so you need to get out of town once in a while

I bought a VS commodore that was 1 year 6 months old from the Catholic Church it went real well as the Father who drove it got up it from new as they are on call 24/7 and pushed for time with a lot running around everywhere.
I bought it because it had been driven hard and went real well.
