$2,420

Spawned from Ford’s part-ownership of Mazda, the Laser was based on the same underpinnings as the Mazda 323 and lasted five iterations between 1981 and 2002 in Australia. It was built locally until Ford pulled the plug on its Flemington plant in 1994, and was imported from Japan for the remaining model years. The Laser was succeeded by the European-sourced Focus.

The line-up currently starts at $2,420 for the Laser LXi and ranges through to $4,070 for the range-topping Laser LXi.

Ford Laser FAQs

What should I do if my 2000 Ford Laser is running rich?

With fuel consumption like that and a smelly, fuming engine, it’s a fair chance that there’s something amiss in the fuelling system. This could be anything from worn injectors to a faulty injection pump, but could also be a simple thing like a dud coolant-temperature sensor or oxygen sensor in the exhaust system that is telling lies to the computer than controls the engine and throwing the engine’s tune way out of whack.

Have the vehicle electronically scanned to see what fault codes are thrown up. And don’t be surprised if the problem is actually something within the ignition system rather than the fuel-injection. Or both.

Ford Lancer 1988: Why is the Ghia cheaper than the GL

Forget the old rules that applied when the car was new, now the ’88 model is just an old clunker and the Ghia pulls about the same money as the GL. When buying a car as old as this the most important thing is not the fruit and features it had when it was sold new it’s the mileage done and its condition that matter.

Suitable replacement for a 2002 Laser LXi?

As a guide you could expect to get $1500 to $3000 for your Laser. The RAV4 is a sound choice. You could get into a 5-star safety rated 2014 RAV4 for $20,000-$23,000, a similar 2012 model for $17,000-$20,000. You could also consider a Kia Sportage, Honda CR-V, or Subaru Forester.
