Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / June 2004el or ef falcon ex-taxi
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience in owning an ex-taxi or knows someone that has had one. And how they r condition wise as i have herd that they go for fairly cheap. the price of the car corresponds with the cost of repairs... don`t expect that a EF or EL with 500 odd thousand kays needs nothing spend on it... engine , gearbox , suspension , interior parts... etc etc... my opinion , keep clear...

Even so, at 800,000k's keep doubly clear, they are definatly ready for the crusher after being a taxi. All the spot welds in the body let go so it feels loose, all the suspension is worn out and tired, the driveline is totally f.cked and your lucky if the engine will even start. the interior will be a tired worn out set of vinyl seats all the door trims will be scratched and worn. holes in the dash everywhere. holes in the roof etc. better off getting a privately owned EB or maybe ED for the same money and it will last you longer. > the price of the car corresponds with the cost of repairs... > don`t expect that a EF or EL with 500 odd thousand kays needs nothing spend [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > herd > > that they go for fairly cheap. thanks people just thought that id ask some people that new a little bit more then me in these areas before i jumped in.

You get what you pay for. > Just wondering if anyone has had any experience in owning an ex-taxi or > knows someone that has had one.

Jason EX Police and Taxi generally have lots of milage with lots of engine indling time, thats why they go cheap.
