Whats my 95 vs worth??

[LethalVS]

hey guys. just about to put my vs on the market. clock says its done 210,000 ks. but replaced the engine 15,000ks ago. engine came out of a vt with only 70,000ks on it now

V6
CAI
Chipped
Vx-S pac mags - tyres fairly new
Resprayed 5months ago
2 x 6x9s sony xpolde
2 x 6inch blaupaunkt
2 x 12inch jl subbies
Lowered

just a rough guess on what u think i'd get for it would be great!
thanks

To state the obvious, it would be over $10,000

[Bec]

?? I'd say obviously under 10k lol

Depending where you live, maybe 6500-7500

[kopper69]

Sounds like you spent a bit of $ on it. Dont think youll get back what you put into it tho. If it looks neat i would be expecting close to $10k. Providing you have all the paperwork to prove its a 'new' engine etc.

[s0sage]

definitely under 10k !!!
no idea on paint or interior or body condition .. but a vs isnt worth 10k
at least not where i live mate ..

most people struggle to tell the difference between a VR and VS without lifting up the bonnet (and then still some) and VR's are worth about 6-7k

you can buy good nick vt's for around 9-10k

maybe if it had a v8 or s/c .........

[Fitty]

Not a chance is a VS worth over 10k if that's all you've done to it. The stereo isn't all that great except for the JL subs, and the rims and tyres are just an incentive to buy, not really a massive price getter. I'd say 'bout 6.5-7.5 depending on where you live.

i couldnt sell my VS Calais had $8900 ONO was willing to take $8000 so ended up giving it to my dad in exchange for $8000 loan towards my VT SS, he got rid of his HZ Ute for $9000 so he won in the end lol $1000 and a comfier car that uses less petrol!

[semmi]

You can pick up a stock VS Exec (I'm assuming your car is an Exec?) at a dealer for $5000-6000 now so I'd reckon you'd be pushing to get more than $7000.

Fact is 210,000 on the clock is not heaps for a Commo so even though you might have a reco engine it's probably not worth that much to a potential buyer. And mods might help sell the car but they don't add a lot of value. Same with the respray.

That all sounds kinda harsh I know, but the reality is for cars like VRs and VSs it's a buyer's market because there are so many to choose from.

Got a 95 VS Exec. Got a trade in quote from Holden as i was looking at getting a new car (can't afford it just yet). They quoted $6000. I was really disapointed. Its in excellent condition, ex cop. Only have put VY S pac rims on her, added a JVC MP3 deck, nokia car kit, mongoose alarm, came with really good pedars suspensionm but none of that mattered. The dealer just saw a 10 year old commodore in good condition.

Plus don't expect too much, with petrol prices as they are at the moment, more people are looking for smaller cars.

[sixshooter]

I cant believe some peeps reckon a VS commodore with over 200,000 kms....is worth over 10G....reco motor or not...

Like Semmi said it's a buyer market a.t.m.

I recently seen an ol' fosil's VS Calais series 1 with full holden service history...unmarked inside and out with 89,000 Kms on the clock...for $9500 in QLD

Pity cause if it was near me I would have snapped it up straight away...

Mint Berlina's are fetching around $8000

Cars seem to be selling slow these days cause that Calais along with others I've seen have been advertised again... (I should have got a plane ticket to QLD)

There are alot of dreamers out there atm thinking they'lll get high prices....but they are still trying to sell their cars....I reckon you'd be lucky to sell your car at $6500...but also you didn't mention what colour it is a good colour will command more on the resale.

[matty193]

WHen i say over 10k, that's taking into account the new motor in a big way.
Unlike other people have mentioned, there's heaps of VS on the melbourne trading post fetching well above 10k, just for being VS or S/C.

10k might have been an overestimate, but there's no way it should be as low as $6,500. Might as well buy a nice VL turbo for that price!

[semmi]

from redbook: http://www.redbook.com.au/vehiclesea...p?key=HOLD97DB

1997 HOLDEN COMMODORE

VS II Sedan Executive 4dr Auto 4sp 3.8i
average kms 135,000 - 165,000
Trade in price guide* $3,400 - $4,900
National average price - private sale* $4,700 - $6,800

i know redbook figures are often understated to some extent... but still it's a long way off $10k.

there may be heaps of VS listed for over 10k, but will they sell for that much? i doubt it. the question was "how much is my VS worth". so i still say $7500 would be about the max. a reco engine doesn't add that much and the rest of the mechanicals (esp the transmission) still have 210k on them and not to mention that's a lot of general wear and tear.

To make my point...I just seen this add today.

Commodore Berlina VS 1995 silver, auto, central lock, alarm, full service history, new tyres, rego 3/2006, immac cond, 95000kms, $6900

Damn!!! I wish I lived on the East Coast

They are giving away cars over there !

[A SPEC 5.0]

i just sold my vs berlina v6 for 10k all it had was a cat back exhaust

[Bax]

When we sold ours a while back we got 8k. You should be able to get 8k for yours given the mods. 8-9. Just put a price on it, if you don't get much interest. Drop it a touch.

That sounds way to good to be true, have you got a link to the advertisement (if it is online)?

Thanks sixshooter, looks like a great bargain for anyone looking at that model holden!

P.S. Or you could go the one in the same category, $900 cheaper and only 2.28million kilometres on the speedo :b:
