vt?

Hi, What mileage would be considered to high to purchase a vt,and what sort of things go wrong with them. cheers Terry

250,000km is high. The V6 is an ecotec, which is generally on borrowed time after 250-300,000km if not looked after well.

If it's a series 1, and a V8 (304), then it's probably going to outlive you if looked after. If it's a series 2, and a V8 (LS1) then they have issues of their own back then, related to oil rings and piston slap. Some are dodgy, some are good, it's luck of the draw really.

I would suggest looking for a VX either way They look a little nicer, and have some of the VT bugs worked out of them.

AGREED Plus nicer interior choices too. Find red leather...

Its more just the other things on the car that wears out
