    "running condition" could mean anything, my gearbox goes into reverse only when its cold, but its still running. its a 20 year old vn exec, dont aim too high, but dont aim too low. has it been resprayed or original paint? my sister picked up a vn exec, most of it resprayed, 16" wheels, full genuine ss kit, cat back system, few scratches, bit of rust, motor seems ok, for $700ish. theyre just not worth anything these days.

    Your dreaming if you think you will get more than 2 k for it, unless it comes with RWC and full 12 months rego.

    Take some advice from the little motto under your name "keeping it real". Youll be lucky if it goes for 2 grand.

    Be realistic mate, ive seen 5L VP Calais go for $3000 around Adelaide and to be honest urs is another typical VN Exec on the road....

    Youve done typical mods that are a waste of money and if anything id pay $1500 just for the fact it has decent paint!

    To put you in the right frame of mind...think about ur car for a sec....its an exec, so crappy seats, manual windows and mirrors.....

    Ive got a VN Calais V6 that i gave to my bro when i bought the VN Calais 5L i now own.......hes been offered by mates $1000 for it as the paint is faded, but it still has the feeatures of a 1988 VN Calais, A/C, calais interior, electrics, level 3 dash etc.....

    VN's are worthless to the average buyer and unless its got a 5L or some major work done to it....ull end up gettin shit all for it....

    Sorry if it seems im having a go at you, but im mearly bringing the harsh reality of the auto market to your mind!

    Just put $2500 o.n.o on it and see how you go.

    If you go higher than that, people might not even look twice at it.

    At between 2 & 3 thousand - it may be for sale for a while. Any more than $3,000 = no hope.

    So many for sale at any one time.

    I was never able to sell mine for even one grand before it faded and it was pretty mint back then, been along time since I saw a VN V6 sell for more than 1,500. I'd say the value on my VP 5l with fresh paint would be 3k max so of course it would never be for sale

    What most people here are missing, is the car is for sale in SA.

    Our prices are higher than yours. Which is why i went to vic to get my car (cost 4500, would have cost 6500 if there was anything similar here)

    We don't have roadys either, so thats shouldn't be taken into consideration.



    Patrick, i think you'd be lucky if you got 2k, there just not worth much nowadays. The guy across the road as an immac white VN Exec (Formula) 5L with 3600 on it, and had no bites. Have a look at what other cars are for sale in SA, t get a rough idea if they're selling for what you want.

    Also the mods = $0. they may get younger buyers interested, but people wont pay for it!

    Get some better quality pics, if every side of the car is in good condition, you may just get 2000 flat, but if theres any blemishes, no-one will consider paying that for it.
