2001 vx advice....

[dc22]

Hey everyone

Just looking for some info regarding a commodore, preferably from an owner.
Im looking at buying a 2001 vx of my mates brother but its done around 226,000km...should that be a concern? i know that most of his km's are freeway diving (melb to werribee).

i dont do that much driving (8000-10,000 kms per year) and i only want the car for 4-5 years max, so im hoping i can get to 280-300,000 trouble free kms

i havent had a good look at the car yet but there has been no serious problems or accident damage, and it is stock standard -no mods and im pretty sure it is a series I so im thinking of paying no more than $5k

is that around the mark or am i dreaming? ive heard he wants around $7k but im not willing to pay that.

any advice, thoughts or comments would be appreciated, good or bad....

thanks.

not to sure what vx's are like or how long they would last trouble free, usually vx's / vt's are a pretty damn reliable commy, but 5k is probably asking just a litttle bit too low try like 6k - 6.2k.

The ecotecs will last forever if kept properly, so I wouldn't worry too much provided he's taken care of it. As for the price what model is it? (executive, berlina, s pack etc)
