Advise on what it's worth please

[redvpsenator]

Cheers, Long time since I have been on site. I am thinking of selling my Vp Senator.Its a Vp Senator cloth trim in good condition was maroon, repainted in wildfire red pearl. Has done 120,000 ks. I hardly ever use it. Thanks.

Redbook says $5600-$7600 but it all depends on condition and add ons you have done i guess.

[Pub247]

**** that its worth more than that you see vp ss selling for that this is the first series of senator and the best looking ones imo id say youd get 10 graand plus quite easliy

[redvpsenator]

Cheers, It is all standard except for the radio/cd player and front/ back speakers. I have had it approximately 12 years now. Seats, carpets etc are as new always had HSV sheepskins on front seats. Hood lining was changed as the foam broke down and let it sag.Thanks again.

Second that ^^ 10k plus if it's mostly original bar the paint.

Sometimes you see them fail to sell for very low prices but one with 120,000 will be desirable to a HSV collector so I wouldn't part with it for under 10 grand either. The non original paint might hurt the value tho

The original paint faded and was virtually polished off the roof and boot where the sun comes through the garage window. The N/Qld sun made it powder looking mainly on the right hand side. I always use my HJ75 Cruiser ute for work so it is mostly sitting there.Thanks for the heads up.

Should have had it resprayed in the factory colour. A die hard collector would only pay top dollar for a mint all original car.


If you get an offer of 10k, take it and run!

There jumping down your throat for quoting redbook. Redbook is about as accurate as asking a 5yo what its worth.

[Timsgmh]

Stealthy....thanks and I guess i should have used the common mans estimate system where if it looks cool,is cool,sounds mean and goes hard then its worth whatever he can afford to pay...i think a fair estimate would be around the ten grand mark realistically. Depends if you put it on egay and get a few bidders at war it could go as high as 15 grand on a good weekend.

my senator was on redbook for like 8 - 11k or something but insurance held it for 14k

Keep in mind different values in different states. 10k in the eastern states would be about 15k in SA......

[Timsgmh]

Its fair to say i now know that redbook sucks ass as far as values go....lesson learnt.

[redvpsenator]

The red pearl does not photograph well in bright light. Photos look faded show better when the sun is not bright.

[greenfoam]

That's a nice colour! bit like pulse red

[redvpsenator]

It had 88,000 ks on it when I bought it now 121,000, seats have more color, taken with flash, in the shed. cheers

[88GreenVN]

You'll get 10 k for this car easy. Paint looks ace - nice choice

[Fun_Bucket]

and i'll buy your seat covers

[Pub247]

nice looking car paint isnt much different to stock colour by the looks worth the money easy if i had the cash to buy it i would

Awesome rims by the way

[MasterOfReality]

$10k easy.

VP HSV's are rare, and when considering what clapped out VN/VP SS's and 5 litre Calais' sell for with 250,000km on them, its a reasonable price.

[redvpsenator]

Thanks Blokes, much appreciated. The wildfire red pearl is a bit brighter than the original paint and has 3 or 4 coats of clear just cant remember now as it was painted 3 or 4 years ago. It is a prettier color. I often get asked what color it is by young dudes.The body and suspension is still tight and the IRS is such an improvement for normal driving. Will see if I can get some pics from a different camera as the pearl does not show with my camera. Still original paint in engine bay. Best regards

[excalibur]

bring it W.A. you will $15 - $20k easy over here
