    Ford Territory buying advice

    Looking at a 2004 Territory Ghia in the next day or so.The Mrs drove it today and would like to have it to replace her Extreme.
    Its an AWD with 138000ks,it is the CEO at work own prsonal vehicle.Price is OK,its in very good condition.
    Any issues to check,Im aware of the shared BA falcon problems,ie auto trans oil/water contamination and the shafts siezing on the climate control taps.
    Anything else to look for/ask if its been updated.They bought it at 9000km so almost a 1 owner vehicle.

    Before the Deefer she had a Classic Rangie with a 4.6.Even on LPG it would cost more to run than a Territory on ULP
    Mainly only drives around Williams/Narrogin with the odd trip up to the city.
    She is over poor heater,poorer air-con,water pouring in when it rains.
    She loves the Deefer but wants a nice car.Could get a P38a for the same price,NICE,its an option but dont want a troublesome money pit.

    John and I drove his Territory from Sydney to Melbourne towing a tandem with a 101 tub on it. Highway cycle we were getting about 10 litres per 100km.

    Andy, I'll PM you John's phone number. You can chat with him on all things Territory.

    Not an early Territory with the Falcon straight six - a new diesel maybe.

    Now says the Territory was really nice but wouldnt mind looking at another Rangie,best car she has ever driven.
    Told her no P38a,L322s are very cheap now.
    Will look at L322s before diciding.

    A straight six petrol. I've heard the horror stories. A fellow at work had one that drank. He was the type of driver that always had to be the first off at the lights and always left his braking quite late. If you drive them gentle, the Territory gives better fuel figures than my V8 Commodore (and I'm getting 12.5 litres per 100km out of that).

    My boy has 10.5 on his XR6 Falcoon of the same year.
    Expect an AWD Territory to be a tad more thirsty,will see what its puter says.

    andy, all early territory front suspension, namely ball joints, were the subject of a design fault and if found to be faulty are replaced free of charge by dealer after they perform inspection to determine if they have been replaced with the upgraded arms etc or not.

    make sure this has been performed. search territory ball joint collapse and you can read all about it.

    one of my customers got this done early this year to theirs.
