keplaffintech New Member 18 Member For: 8y 10m 29d Posted 21/05/15 10:39 AM Share Posted 21/05/15 10:39 AM (edited) Has anyone left their FG falcon parked outside for a considerable period of time (years)? I'm thinking of buying one but I won't be able to keep it garaged. I was wondering what sort of damage to the paint or interior to expect after 1, 2, 5 years etc.EDIT: I'm leaning towards black or dark colours.Thanks Edited 21/05/15 10:43 AM by keplaffintech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regret it, it is now garaged. Plastic roof trims and some of the plastic trims around the windows are a bit faded. Tonneau is a bit lighter too.

Dont look after it and it will go to 5hit within a year.that's why we give most out cars girl names because they to need some love'n too Edited 21/05/15 10:59 AM by Pixy Angel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastics can be replaced. Interior is fine, always used a sun visor though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good, it spent 3 yrs out in the open in FNQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the dealer applied paint protection is worth it. You don't have to wax or polish the car ever. Seems legit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
