Which is better: Commodore vs Falcon?

I'm thinking of buying a 1998 Ford Falcon Forte station wagon with 101,000 km on the clock. Are they known of any common faults with running gear or motor?

It's very low mileage for a car that is 18 years old, so make sure the odometer is correct. If it is you've most likely got a good buy on your hands. The BA Falcon is a solid and generally reliable car. There's little to worry about with the engine, there can be problems with the automatic transmission, but it shouldn't be a problem if it drives normally when you test-drive it.
