Hey guys.
I'm looking at a new car, and naturally I have been looking at e series. I'm just looking for some food for thought to help me decide what e series to focus on. I want a few things with the car. Smartlock, power windows in at least the front, 6" speaker holes in the front. Wondering about drivetrain. Should I go auto, manual or auto then convert to manual. What e series had Tickford goodies on them? Besides the XRs. Early or late model. ED or EL sort of question. Just looking for opinions on my options. Pros, cons and prices. Just to help me to narrow down my search. Budget, I would like to keep under 6k. Just tell me wonderful stuff about a car and why I should buy it. Thanks. |

It would be a gradual modding, as I see fit/can afford it.
How much would an EFII Fairmont Ghia sting me on average? It sounds like a good place to start. What other goodies does it have, and general preformance, reliability opinions ect. |
