Which car - Falcon EB or ED?

I have been given the choice between two cars, one is a 1992 EB Falcon GLi with 130,000 km on the clock for $3000, and the other is a 1994 ED Falcon GLi dual-fuel for $4000, but it has done 250,000 km. Does the dual-fuel and newer model outweigh the extra km it's done? How much better/different is the ED from the EB?

When it comes to buying old cars I tend to go with the car that is in the best condition and usually the one with the lower odo reading regardless of age. In your case that's the older car, but because it has done a lot less kays it is likely to give you a better run in the long term. Of course the dual-fuel ED will be cheaper to run, but it will take you a year or so to cover the extra $1000 you have to pay for it. The ED was little changed from the EB it replaced; it had better side impact protection and used environmentally friendly gas in the air-conditioning system.
