VPEXEC poor bloke maquarie as well goes to show dat ur car is not even safe in the yuppy areas I've seen quite a few books where the dealer puts other ID numbers or model nos in the book instead of the correct ones. Also seen ones where the s/hand dealer gave buyers a book for another car altogether

yer aus880 u r right the log book i have isnt even stamped with VIN or any details it is totally blank ne one wanna buy it.. its in immac condition it came with my first calais but has alot of interesting info Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I was pretty dumb when i got my VL calais. i didnt know **** about any of this. its thanks to this site iv been educated. I really wouldnt be suprised if mine is a re-birth. It CLEARLY wasnt originally a calais when i got it (which i only noticed after getting it, realising cruise control, elec windows didnt work/not even plugged in and later a dead givaway of the corner black plastic bits on rear above lights being exec type) and at rego the chassis number didnt match the engine number. Only cost 4000 and now i see why. This was bout 18months ago, learned heaps since then. Now im wondering if some poor basterd lost their car thanks to my poor purchase. Is there anything i could/should do in my situation?

dude when my vlct got pinched i was hoping maybe someone on here would come across it and let me noe.. dude if u think ur car is not legit and u wanna hand it in.. then u r gonna looose $4000 and the car too.. u r a very nice person if u do though.. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

There's bodies all over the place with these farking VL's........

INFLYT dude that very true i reckon at least %50 would be not totally legit.. maybe not all **** exec na's but calais turbo's etc

These day's the only way you can know for sure what your getting is to buy brand new...........
