Sounds like you snapped up a bargain !, well that just goes to show how the prices have changed lol

Car was stock height, stock body and interior down to the cassette deck and to make things sweeter the front scuttle had been cut and replaced with a new one and needed only a couple of bulbs and exhaust hanger for RWC....I paid $2300 + $95 return to fly to sydney to check it out and $125 to get it shipped back here. Here we are 2 years later and I've had to replace harmonic balancer woodruff and a TPS for a grand total of $20.00. Of course the body kit, custom dash, TH400, GT35, leather, springs, senator sigs etc etc cost a bit more since lol, but still shows just how crazy some prices are especially for molested examples. They are NOT worth what a lot of people ask, you need to be patient and know what your buying, if your not mechanically minded pay a mechanic to look it over (not all of us charge the earth). Pics of the turbo 304 setup

Nothing to show at the second its in bits so I can respray the whole lot as I drove it in primer all of last year as it looked **** when it was gold with the bodykit in white lol, the turbo pipework is off getting HPC'd so it can be reassembled once the paints done. With that said there's nothing to show under the bonnet it just looks like s stock VN motor all the gears underneath.

to many floggers selling vls these days. i remember in 2000 i payed $4000 for my mint executive vl of an old guy. vlc about 1500 in my opinion

in really good nick with kms in the 100-200k mark id say 6k for one thats thrushed out ect around 3-4

i'd pay 6 rwc and reg good either original condition or something that is tastefully modded.

What about A6 high comp converted calais? Obviously not worth the same as an A8, but worth more than a standard NA?

worth around the 6-8 mark depending on nick ect
