bump

Don't know wmuch about the motors, but I don't think much was changed elsewhere for the VS. Being a 95 model it will be one of the last (VS started mid 95 I think) so it should be a good one as far as having the litle things sorted out from the first release. Personally, I'm holding onto the VL as long as I can and seeing what the VE is like, if it's all it's cracked up to be, how the HFV6 is improved going by the current whinges from people. If it doesn't appeal I'm considering an 02-03 model Subaru Outback. That's about a 5 year plan.

yah man 6500 is what you would typically pay for a '95 berlina. mileage is good to what you would expect. check http://www.redbook.com.au to get prices on standard models and what everyone else is selling their rig for http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!cs_content.private_results?make_id=10&model_id=19&keyword=BERLINA+VR&search_distance=25&search_postcode=&sort_type=2 and a couple of owner reviews for you on the car... http://www.carsurvey.org/review_48015.html http://www.carsurvey.org/review_33059.html and an old post on the VR vs VS http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=24392 for its mileage, and price it should prove to be a good car. engine wise from what i have read its supposed to be pretty good.. but then it comes down to how well the car was maintained it, and if the guy drove the car like a fruit or not.

yeh man thats not too bad at all i know sum 1 who just brought a vr for 5500 and the thing has like 330000 kmh on the clock so yer could be a good buy

wasnt the motor in the vr a buick based motor?

The motors the buick 3.8L v6, the difference from vr to vs is the vs got an ecotech version of the motor. Body wise and that they are very similar, only a few minor differences. I reckon the price is a good deal.

Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

you wish you could find a decent car don't ya boothy :P and yeh not a lot of posts on here lately.. as I don't have a vl anymore Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

the ecotec engines have a different block,manifolds,and cylinder heads and lightweight pistons and compression ratio of 9.4:1 and has 13% more power than the vr engine and way more smoother acceleration

I was reading an old magazine article and it said that the series 2 VR had dual exhaust on all V6's.... Is this true??? If so i never knew this
