**holdenfan86** · 08-12-2009, 06:29 PM

just looking for a few honest opinoins on who got the better deal
VS :
- stuffed gearbox
- collapsed tie rod ends
- god knows what wrong with the cooling system
- reasonable intirior
- 3 years of me driving it
+ brand new f brake rotors pads + service on rest line flush ect (gearbox whent a couple of days later)
+ custom white vinal head liner
+ ok paint
+ custom exhaust
VL:
- leaking radiator (fixed now)
- poor paint, cracked bumpers ect
+ lowerd slightly
+ manual
+ reasonable intirior (for a standard vl)
+ manual
+ recent rebuild on motor by a preveus owner (apparently)

To be honest, a VL is worth more, have a lot more to offer, as far as modifications go, and usually sell for more than the VR/VS.

I did it, swapped my unreg VR berlina, for a VL 5 speed, haven't regretted it one bit, love the VL.
