2005 FORD FALCON BA MKII XT – THE LAST OF A BREED!
$5,990 | 189,232 Kilometres | 4.0L 6-Cylinder Automatic**
BACK WHEN AUSTRALIA BUILT CARS, NOT JUST EXCUSES.
There was a time when buying a family sedan didn't require a university degree to operate the infotainment system, a subscription to use the heated seats or a second mortgage to replace a headlight.
It was a simpler time.
Holden built Commodores. Ford built Falcons. And the greatest argument at an Australian barbecue wasn't politics — it was which one was better.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we present a surviving piece of Australian motoring history.
The mighty 2005 Ford Falcon BA MkII XT.
Under the bonnet sits Ford's legendary 4.0-litre naturally aspirated inline six-cylinder engine, paired with the traditional four-speed automatic transmission.
No tiny turbocharged lawnmower engine pretending to be something it isn't. Just a proper Australian six-cylinder, delivering effortless highway cruising, comfortable motoring and the sort of mechanical simplicity that made these vehicles household names.
With just 189,232 kilometres travelled, this example represents an increasingly difficult find in a market where many Falcons have already travelled to the moon and are halfway back.

BUILT FOR AUSTRALIAN CONDITIONS, NOT A EUROPEAN TEST LABORATORY.
The beauty of a Falcon is that it never needed to pretend.
It wasn't designed to impress the neighbours with illuminated badges, unnecessarily complicated electronics or a dashboard resembling the control room at NASA.
It was designed to comfortably transport five Australians, their luggage and probably half the contents of Bunnings without breaking a sweat.
The seats are generous, the cabin is spacious, the boot is enormous and the driving experience is exactly what made these cars so popular.
Whether you're chasing an affordable first vehicle, dependable everyday transport, a comfortable highway cruiser or simply appreciate a proper Australian-built sedan, the BA Falcon continues to make a compelling argument.
AND HERE'S SOMETHING WORTH THINKING ABOUT...
Ford stopped building Falcons in Australia in 2016.
That means they're not making any more of them.
While some examples have been modified beyond recognition, neglected into oblivion or driven into the ground, finding a relatively low-kilometre example with service history and two keys is becoming increasingly appealing.
We're not going to tell you this is a million-dollar collector's item.
But we will tell you that there's something incredibly satisfying about owning a proper Australian Falcon for less than the price of a decent second-hand ride-on mower.
