Thought id might aswell throw this one up for everyone to see Immaculate conditon VL berlina turbo MX7... not many left like this !! 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!

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.
