hi guys im posting this up for a mate, he is a member but doesnt come on here much these days, its a genuine VLCT was originally an auto but was converted to manual, has heaps of new or near new parts, i can vouch for this car it is very clean and tidy little or no rust, well looked after inside and out, and has had big coin spent on the rebuild and of course it is a weapon lol any way bellow is the gum tree link which has more details about the car and ive supplied direct contact details for him any one who has a look wont be dissapointed, Dave-[phone removed] $16,000 ono http://perth.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-V...AdIdZ208337730 (http://perth.gumtree.com.au/c-Cars-Vehicles-Motorbikes-Parts-cars-VL-Calais-Turbo-16000-ONO-W0QQAdIdZ208337730)

Why's Dave sellin it ?

**** hes done a bit to it since i saw it last. I can vouch for this cas aswell, dave has done a heap of work to the car and he knows his ****

How much power has it got? I read the advert but didn't see a figure. Who did the tuning and building of the motor? How long ago was the motor built? Maybe let your mate know that power figures and more details on the engine would be great and more informative for people looking to buy one of these cars. Most people aren't interested if its got dvd screens and 32mm sway bar bushes or a whiteline strut brace. They are more concerned with the longevity and build quality of the engine and the external look of the car eg trim all intact, panel lines equal and lining up etc. I know from experience that the more info a seller can give on a car like this, and the more top workshops that can backup the quality after working on it, the more likely a sale will be. These sorts of high performance vlt's are getting harder to sell these days. Has this been down the quarter mile? Get him to pile the information onto the for sale advert. There are so many vlt's for sale over east, that alot of people are turning to them to buy from as they are so common over there and so much more bang for your buck than here in WA in alot of cases.

Hey man ever thought of getting a job at the autotrader ?

I guess it works both ways, "many people will ask questions if they are keen to buy", but also, "many sellers will put as much info as possible to help with sale if they are wanted it sold asap". This saves little questions backwards and forwards which could be answered by being listed in the advert. I still have a vested interest in VL's after owning them for 15 years. Even though I just sold my VL, I still keep a keen eye incase I want to pursue another project. One of my good friends has just purchased a VL Calais and has put a deposit down on a turbo kit already, and he has his eyes set on getting some decent power out of his VL. So Im always keen to know about VL's and VLT's for sale whether its for my interest or for my friends. I know that if I was keen to buy a VLT and somebody couldn't or didn't put down all the information straight up, then that would go to the bottom of the list until all the other potential ones had been explored......Simple! Obviously though, if its not tuned and/or small power figure revealed in the advert plus any other details, then would save many people bothering the owner also! So, as it stands, my questions still apply as per my original post. Im not going to ring the owner as at this point I would be wasting his time as Im not a keen buyer at this point. More information would be helpful though. ---------- Post added 20-06-10 at 22:15 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by rb25vlt8 [View Post] Hey man ever thought of getting a job at the autotrader ? Actually, No! Just a friendly previous VL owner. Looking at it from both buyer and seller perspective. Because I have been a buyer and seller many times over the last 15 years of both stock and high powered VLTs. Thanks for asking though champ.
