http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holden-VL...item33751853a5 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Holden-VL-Commodore-Berlina-Factory-Turbo-5-speed-/221007860645?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item33751853a5)
I thought id might aswell make this one for the generations as i always wonder what the cars are like when i see old threads like these....
Holden VL Commodore Berlina Factory Turbo 5 speed
Excellent Condition
Completely mechanically standard & unmodified.
Maintained to the up most standard. Not smoked in. Fully Synthetic engine oil used & changed every 8,000kms. Nissan engine coolant used.
- 4 wheel disc brakes.
- LSD differential
- Bilstein shock absorbers front & rear
- Heavy Duty Springs
- New front brake discs & h/duty brake pads
- Long range fuel tank
- 3 point remote immobiliser - (ignition, fuel, starter motor)
- CD player - original Eurovox radio comes with the car but the radio stopped working a few years back
- Tow bar - support structure is in place however the tow tounge housing is currently not fitted, The tow bar electrical harness is the flat type & kept loose in the boot (no holes drilled)
Despite the same output figures across the board for the VL Turbo, the earlier Series 1 models had a slightly higher output before they were detuned as too many P-platers were involved in serious accidents when they were first released. I know this as I worked at Holden when the VL Commodores were brand new.
I can tell you that this particular car goes, stops and handles well, and is a very comfortable car to drive.
This car is a true manual turbo model with a great colour combination & is truely a great car to drive. You would find it very hard to find a genuine VL Turbo manual, especially in this excellent condition.
Inspection for genuine inquiries only welcomed & encouraged.
It is a genuine sale with NO RESERVE, it has to go as I have currently upgraded so please only bid to buy, not to inspect or negotiate.
Can assist with interstate transport at buyers expense.
Thank you and good luck!

lol... too many P platers were crashing VL Turbo's in 1986 that they had to detune them...

Yet VIN Plate shows car came standard NON-LSD.
The LED drilled into the dash for the alarm is does not class this as "Completely mechanically standard & unmodified."
Yes.. probably a minor point. But thought i'd point it out.
