    Default Good deal or not?

    Ok, I'll keep it short and sweet!
    Someone has offered me 2 VP Commodores for $550.

    No rego on either, one is close to raody apparently, just needs a few bushes and a blow over some minor surface rust.

    Other one needs a little bit more work.

    Both have very good interiors, and autos, and engines too I think.

    Free tow truck delivery too I think.

    Sounds like I can't go wrong. Oppinions please?

    Yeh, that's exactly what I was thinking; either just try an sell em straight on (should be able to make a coupla hundred profit on each) or if they're really that bad strip em down and stuff.

    Just wanted to make sure that VPs weren't selling for 100 bucks these days lol.


    Thanks guys.

    Might be going to have a look at these tommorow morning.

    Heres the pics I've seen of em - not much, but give some idea of what they look like.

    My only problem now is to make sure they aren't stolen or with stuffed engines or something lol.

    I went to go look at em last weekend but got complicated and didn't end up seeing them.

    hoping to go have a look this weekend if I get the chance. Theyll probs be sold if I leave it any longer.

    Problem is, I might be buying a HJ ute as well..........so that would mean I'd be buying 3 cars.......and we already have 7.

    If you have the space and time for them...I second what skruba said - buy 'em, clean them up and sell them for profit.

    Part them out, whack everything on eBay and/or forums, you'll be laughing.

    Even if they don't have any pistons or something you're still guaranteed to turn a profit.
