Advice on a potential new car

[jtsaus]

Hey, Im looking at upgrading my current car to a VS Acclaim. Just wondering whether people think the price seems fair for the car.
Its a White 1997 VSII Acclaim, 3.8 V6 with 184,000kms.
Looks to be in fairly good condition, no major scratches or dents.
Just has stock wheels and stuff.
Its advertised for $3,999 was just wondering if they seemed an alright price.

Cheers

I think that's a reasonable price. They're a good car, I have one and am slowly turning into something more . What are you upgrading from?

[jtsaus]

Ah ok thanks
Yeah im upgrading from an old 91 Lancer. Mum and Dad made me get soemthing small to learn in and now im looking for something with a bit more power and space haha

if you go the VR youll probably get it for a lil cheaper. plus the buick engines have more low down torque and tend to last longer. they are the same cosmetics just might save your self some dollars

just my 2c

OK then. thanks for that. My parents are pretty certain that i have to get one with abs and airbags, do vrs have all that?

[speed_freak]

the acclaim was the only model to have irs abs and airbags as standards. but they were always options on all models across the range. you may find one that was optioned when bought new

Oh ok, im gonna look into that now. Cheers mate

Sounds like a good car mate

i'd say price a bit high mate, bargin them!
my mate got a 96' berlina with 160 000k's for $2900
i paid $3000 for my series 2 5 speed manual vs exec with 1600 00k's, 2 air bags, irs, abs, metallic paint, fe2

So i'd say bargin!

[jtsaus]

Yeah, after hearing that it does sound pretty expensive. Hmm have to think about it a little more now i guess
