i'd get a v8 exec then spend money on some mods.

**msina1** · 12-05-2009, 10:59 PM

v6's only, on his p's

**andyman** · 12-05-2009, 11:14 PM

either get as new and hagged, or, as old and mint

you can generally find a balance between the two.

so no point in buying?

**nemesis_adrasteia** · 13-05-2009, 12:54 AM

how urgently does he need the car? if not to soon id say shop around you could get a nice VS calias or something nice or if he needs something just to get around just buy a cheap commodore and drive it till it dies

well, its not an urgent need, (works from home), but he's trying to get one by friday or monday, something like a vr-vs.

**nemesis_adrasteia** · 13-05-2009, 01:14 AM

yeah VS is what i meant brilliant typo by me

**msina1** · 13-05-2009, 01:19 AM

yeah, iv been looking round for him, if anyone could chuck some ebay links up for a few vr-vs' around 5000$$ that would be great, im capped so its a bitch to search,

caught my eye, not to keen on the k's tho,

**nemesis_adrasteia** · 13-05-2009, 01:33 AM

315000 isnt great but its livable its a commodore high ks is normal alot of people have VSs with 300000 plus kays and they still drive good, just remember all prices are negotiable

**msina1** · 13-05-2009, 01:36 AM

found one in geelong, no pics tho, ever heard of the colour heather?
seams to be like a pink?

**nemesis_adrasteia** · 13-05-2009, 01:43 AM

yeah i supose it could be pink or like redish maybe

**msina1** · 13-05-2009, 02:32 AM

yeah, gave it a pass anyway, seeing as rego's ran out, and we've got a trip up to lorne planned for next weekend,

**msina1** · 13-05-2009, 10:34 PM

got him thinking about this,

http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automo...tlistView=true

anyone care to try and spot any imperfections?

**nemesis_adrasteia** · 14-05-2009, 02:54 AM

seems like a good car decent ks id have a look seems a little bit cheap considering its a dealer check it out if your interested get an RACV check if you have a mate thats a mechanic take em with ya when you go check it out

**msina1** · 14-05-2009, 05:12 AM

yeah im not a huge fan of dealers, his last vs he bought from a dealer just started f*cking up from the moment he got it, eventually leading to oil leaks, leading to blow his engine,

was a sad loss of his car,

**nemesis_adrasteia** · 14-05-2009, 12:39 PM

yeah dealers arent my prefered option but just depends on how desperate he is for a car going out and buy9ing what you want is ok but as my mate found out can turn to shit he ****ed the motor in his ute and needed a car even tho he lived with me and worked where i worked so he went the next day and bought an astra thats what he wanted hes regretting it now tho cos he paid 9 grand for the car and it has no resale value now
