Hey i recently moved to mackay, just looking into buying another vn, looking granny spec, basically a project car, and was trying make a few friends around the area, so yeah if there are any commodore meets, or cruises mackay or close by please post up for me, would be well appreciated.

[centy]

try the pocket trader every 2nd week.
some good buys in there if you look hard enough.
Sorry i'm in bowen so that is a little far away.

Have a look on the side of the road a couple of k's past City Gates heading to Sarina, there was a couple of nice Stato's there today. I see you're after a VN but if the price is right then ya never know eh??? I seen one was 6 g's but didn't see a price on the other one!

Cheers................Pete1

6g's is a bit excessive for a VN dont you think? I wouldnt pay over $1500 for one. I guess this doesnt really apply to everyone, but Ive been offered a few good deals in regards to VN's. Was offered about a year back to get 2 VN's, ~250,000kms, good mechanical nick, 5 and 6 months rego + RWC, good interior nick, jsut a bit faded paint, both for $800.

I was just at supercheap in cannonvale and one of the workers there said he had a vp with 130k on the clock for sale, sorry i did not ask the price or his name.

G'day m8, i'me in mackay.
Pocket trader is the go.
We also have a Holden club which is strong.
Meetings held every 2nd Tuesday at the 'grove tavern.
Let me know if you need parts, i have really good contacts. Also know where there are a few vns.
Welcome to Mackay.
P/s, don't tell 'em how good it is up here.

[Raptorsc]

Dun forget the wrecker on Eungella Valley road, Dennis Sommers. Got every VN - VY part you need for cheap.

Others will give you better directions for Dennis

hey guys sorry was moving house, yeah im happy to see there are a few members on here in the mackay area, and coolngroovy this town is very awsome i never wanna leave lol, but if you know where there is some vn's would be great i dont get much time to go anywhere, I want an executive v6, auto with under 230 000 and under about $1500 but that depends on condition (pay more for a really good one), and also as close to granny spec as possible, I wanna build it up from scratch but same thing again if one for cheap comes up with decent stuff done to it i wont say no.. thanks buys i will try and make the time to come check the club out..

[38VNIT]

oh and by the way i have been trying the pocket trader but havnt found any vn's with rego or within a price range yet

[centy]

about a year ago i got a 1 owner vp in rposy for $2000 with 10mths rego and roadworthy. got it this cheap as ac is cactus.
The original owner is a local mechanic to, so bonus.

[38VNIT]

coolngroovy just wondering if you could tell me about a few of the vn's here as i now have an open licence in qld so i can drive v8's etc i wanna find a vn 5 litre or vq 5 litre, will still buy a 6 but yeah, so if you could tell me what you know bout the few for sale would be nice, wanna keep it under 1500-2000 cause vn's aurnt worth much even the 5 litres

[38VNIT]

just bumping this page up, still looking for a vn executive v6 or v8

[vpete]

Hey mate, have a look in the place next to the chiropractor in sarina, looks like a vn parked there that hasn't gone anywhere for a bit. You never know if ya never ask eh??? It's on the main drag, seen it there today! Pretty much opposite Meng Tyres!

Cheers.............Pete!

[38VNIT]

I was just at supercheap in cannonvale and one of the workers there said he had a vp with 130k on the clock for sale, sorry i did not ask the price or his name.

his name's Dale. i went to school with him. nice guy, knows a bit too. his other car's a VL turbo (but it's not all that great). couldn't tell you a price though

[38VNIT]

hey mate, yeah i dont really like vp's but if its all i could get then i guess it would do, if ya could get a price off him when ya can would be good, no rush, i still wanna find a vn though lol, either a 5 litre or i wanna rebuild a 6 and turbo it haha

[38VNIT]

[TheForgotten]

hey mate, yeah i dont really like vp's but if its all i could get then i guess it would do, if ya could get a price off him when ya can would be good, no rush, i still wanna find a vn though lol, either a 5 litre or i wanna rebuild a 6 and turbo it haha

I'll try, but no promises. i moved to brisbane a week ago and i don't have his number... but we have some common friends.i'll find out what i can

[38VNIT]

yeah man that would be good, haha how hard would it be to put vn bumpers and a grill on a vp lol

[coolngroovy]

Sorry, i was asleep!

I heard of a V8 VK Calais 2day at the carshow.
Although it sounded a lot like a VR! [ Dont ask]
Price was 2-2.5k.
I will make some enquiries for ya!
PM me a phone number m8.
Cheers, Col.
