Hi my names michael and im a fairly new member here. I am looking at buying my first car and was wondering if u guys could have a look 4 me and tell me what u think. Here is the link: http://www.autotrader.com.au/iteminfo/adnumber_W1069012182872_kw_vl_loc_locRZSQregtAVSCd istRZSQAVSCstateRZSQ2AVSCregRZSQ_off_16_sect_Autom otive_sort_otRZSQ1BJDZfdRZSQSearchDisplayPriorityI ndAVSCotRZSQ1BJDZfdRZSQFirstPublished_sqt_0_srchby _mmbsRZSQMakeAVSCsrchbyRZSQmkmdlAVSCmkdlsRZSQHolde nMRFXBerlinaMRFXCommodore_stpg_1_subs_Used+Cars_ Thanks heaps for your help

k's are fairly low, however its from a caryard so expect to pay top $$ for it.

From the picture it seems quite neat, when you go for an inspection, have a look at all the normal places for rust and go over the engine, I wouldn't pay anymore then $2000 as it's a stock N/A Automatic.

Well if the km's are correct, then it still very low for the year... Id try and ask $2400 - 2500 for it, because $3000 is a lil to much imo for an N/A. It has air con, which is a bonus, but yeh if u try and get $2400, then it would be a good buy, GREAT COLOUR .. haha Goodluck... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

if your spending that sort of money, why dont you spend a little bit more and "upgrade" to something like this: http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=125656 lol Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thanks heaps guys for your thoughts i will definately give it a good look over and yea i agree i love the colour too i love red vls. So u guys think the price is a little high?

A bit high, go and have a look at it tho

prices from dealerships are always high all you can do is go take a look maybe go for a drive in it rust etc check everything and then offer what you think its worth main point is dont rush in getting a car cause there will always be another better one up for grabs in a week or so

make sure it is roadworthy, if a dealer sells a car "as is" thats because it is to expensive to roadworthy. check that the condition of the car matches the kms, if you are a bit unsure get it racv checked. the dealer still has to turn some profit and if the car is 3g with roadworthy ask what he has done to it, he either bought it for 2g because there is a massive margin on his cars and he an afford to lower the prices or he bought it for 1-500 tops. most importantly make sure you like the car thats the most important thing. look at more than 1 car so you can compare how good or bad this car actually is. also make sure it is checked by someone who knows what they are looking at. look for rust in front / back windscreens and the boot make sure the instrument cluster works, tread on tyres, listen for diff clunk it looks stock with the 14"s and hubcaps and whatnot but if there are any mods like locked diff, CAI, whatever else then consoder walking away.

hey guys i went to have a look at the vl today and it was a piece of crap it was really faded and due for a respray and there was metal wire holding together the the side mirrors and the rear lights were stuffed and dont even get me started on the interior lol but there is some good news im going to look at another one on the weekend its a 200 series it says in the ad that they only made 200 of them is this true? when i go to look at it i will get some pics and show u guys and u can tell me what u think thanks for the help

cant remember how many the made, however it was the bicentennial edition. Gold 2 tone with different material seats and stuff. Dont be conned into paying anymore for it because its a series 200 though.
