Yeah I'm stickin with the winders for that reason. I think you can get good money for a VL but it needs to be in decent condition and you have to take your time, can't expect to sell too quickly. Oh, and the VL is the most popular Commodore, I can't remember which Commodore magazine it is, but every issue that has had a VL on the cover has sold atleast 20000 more copies than any other issue (well, those were the numbers last time I saw something about it). Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah i will give you that much.the electrics do suck,but it wouldnt be a calais if it didnt have electrics

The mags are almost worth that much alone

yeah bro dats cheep as chips grab it

had good look through vl on trade me tonight still noticed some have been on there for six months at least. So are not selling or the dumb pricks want far too much for em !!

and............................................... ........sold, $3,500 dumb maby not, prickly, no not that either.

While i'm not from NZ, I can say this much... A VL Calais for $1,000 ~ $1,400, I have my doubts. In Aus anyway. i've owned 5 VL's I think now? Stripped 2 that were Calais', and with both cases i've made over double in cash what you think they're worth both times - thats after i've deducted what the cars cost me in the 1st place. Prices will continue to drop for a while wherever you are, but eventually they'l become a uncommon enough car that prime examples espesically the brock models will fetch a fortune. If they don't already.

well done convert
