first car choices

[Nicks]

Hey everyone

Soon i am and getting my first car, and i have a total of $3000 to spend. Im really liking the holden vl's but really like vn's aswell ? tell me what yaz think i should get.

cheers

get a 5-speed VN/VP.. even a 5-speed VL. both will be more than quick enough for what you need from a first car. You'd be able to get a better VL for 3 grand than a VN though i'd say. good luck

get the vl for 3 grand you should be able to pick up a nice berlina

u can get a good vn for 2 grand. thats what i paid in 2005 for a manual vn 1988 and in 2000 for 1990 vn manual. just got to keep ya eyes open

3 Grand, you should be able to pick up a VR for that money.

Hey, ive got the same problem :P turning 18 in August and DEFINETLY looking for a VL. Either being VL-Turbo in auto, or a straight VL in Manual as i can drive manual just fine and i dont mind have a auto if its Turbo.

What would be the best recomondation and what prices would i be looking at?
Haha, another question, is a VLT even legal for a Victorian P Plater?

Cheers bro
(Nick go the VL and we cruise haha)

personally i wouldn't touch VN-VS. no offence to anyone who has one but i think they are ugly crap IMO. Get a nice VL Berlina, you won't be disappointed.

Yeah once you learn how to drive a manual, get a 5 Speed VL.

After driving one, you wont go near a Auto. (Unless for obvious reasons )

RB26DETT: My mate bought a VS for $2000, but it blew up a couple of days after he had it and he had to replace the gearbox. It's good now, but you can tell he's spent alot of money on it.

Go The Vl Mate,,,,,

[Schmock]

Go the VLs.. Can get some real cheap and there's heaps of parts for them so you won't have any troubles

if your looking for a vlt save around 5-8 thousend for a half decent one... and stay away from converts...

VL's the way to go

dont mind VN's...luvin Hozy's Vn very niiiiioce

[cxcxcxvcvcvc]

mate after owning both a vn & a vl n/a i would go the vl purely because i think there a better car no offence to vn owners! but with all sincerity my stock n/a vl wouldnt touch the stock vn v6 i had on take off! i find the v6 motors are very torquey motors and its only when the vl opens up that it might have the upper maybe...
