This is the mandatory post to say hi. Hi :wave:

Looking to buy my first FB but not much for sale here in Perth. A few EKs. If anybody know of any FBs for sale around here (looking to spend about 8-10 thou).

Advice on what to look out for gratefully received :thumbsup:

Saw this one. Would love it but not in Perth & out of my price range :(

Thanks.

Hi Ethan, and welcome.

8 to 10 grand should get you something half decent that needs little to no work. You just need to be patient.

Hi Ethan, call me if you need to know more about the Godess Gold FB, as I use to own it :)

What ever got you to $10k, I would keep adding to your spend. Unless your prepared to work on either rust, trim or paint.

$10k normally is the average cost of a paint job on an FB.

Most good clean FB-EK I've looked at are $20k- 30K, and I look at around 300 FB-EK's a year ... not just pics :)

Happy to help you find a good one.

Steve

Hi Eathan

Welcome to the forum.

Keep looking mate there are a few on gum tree at the moment. I picked up my ute for a good price, needed a basic tidy up, nothing major.

One of the forum members has an EK for sale in perth that may interest you.

Cheers

Gazza
