    Says value is at $1,700 - $3,800.. So its a decent price. However it needs a fair bit done too it... Is he going to help you with that? If so, and its registered, then Id say thats a good price. However depends on how much you value the car. New paint gives it a fair kick towards being in "fantastic" condition.. Also that is VERY low K's on the engine for a VS..

    I know I haven't really 'answered' the question... But thats my opinion

    Edit after seeing photos: GET IT ;P
    However rego still an issue. Depends if you have money to register it. But photo's have plates so maybe its still registered

    apart from the rear screen and parcel shelf. all the other things can be fixed quite cheap and easily. it looks to be in good condition. if the mechanicals are good id say buy it.

    If its rego'd and ready to go. Id say buy it mate. Rear screen should be all of 150 - 250 installed depending on where you get it done, dunno about the parcel shelf.. But its not somthing you have to worry about untill rego is due.

    Its had a fair bit of work done, as you said, low K's, looks pretty much new from the outside.. $2k? Bargain because its registered.

    I give it a definate do it!

    yeh thanks buddy the only resone i said the parcel shelf needs work is coz of a previouse owner cut a hole there for a sub so i got a nice 10" hole to weld up and i can get a new screen for $80 so yeh but ill get my old man to iron out the kinks for me before buying it

    looks like a clean vs, and yeah it needs some work but if your after a vs most of them you will find need at least one if not a few things done to them anyways, plus if just say your dads had it since it was brand new then if you buy it it keeps it in the family sorta thing, and if you dont buy it for 2000 im sure alot of other people would
