Man, its still extremely expensive.. Wait out for another car, it doesnt sound like you have been looking for that long.

It may be expensive, i'd never personally buy from a car yard, but that VLC is so ****ing clean and origional, it may be worth the $7,300 your willing to pay. If your happy with what your getting for that price, then go for it I say. You'd spend way more than $7,300 total getting a $4k clapper to look that good...

Sounds like you made up your mind tho... Look I can justify spending that and more on a performance VLT/VLCT... but an NA 6? Fark... I'd rather wait for something cheaper to come along... I mean I love my VL's... but fuck 7 grand for an NA... rather buy something newer... Daz

thinking about it, you can get a v comodore for that price MUCH better car, especially if you konw nothing about cars (who in their right mind would pay that for a vl calais non turbo) coem to think of it, my car only had a dint in the boot lid, was a manual and the black strip above the bootlid was peeling, and i got it for under half of what your getting, also with a LEGIT roadworthy, and 12 moths rego, spare manula and a new windscreen! they will tell you in on consignment, and they make no money, but they are CAR SALESMEN! the most dodgy as **** people (there are alot of nice guys, but with what my mates experienced well yeah sorry to any GOOD guys, coz i konw there are alot of good guys, but some things the bad guys done is unbeliveable!) they are out ot make profit and large amounts of profit, he would have traded it in for 500 bux, and taken a bit of the previous owners new car, coz he konws he can make a ****load out of some young guy with a loan

Guys get over it! Its hes money he can do what he likes. Clean and original VL calais don't and wont go cheap. If it was me I would pay the $$$ Because if it was mine I wouldn't be letting go of it for many years.
