Hey everyone in the vr/vs forum. I am currently looking at buying a vs commodore ute. I've got my heart set on this particular car, so if yous could put me at ease that this car isn't going to cost me grands in the future, that be bloody awesome.
Specifically what i'd like to know is what could potentially be wrong with it, that would make someone decide against buying it. Keep in mind i would be willing to pay for anything that needed to be fixed, up to $1000.
I have previously owned a vs sedan. And it was an extremely awesome car, till i wrote it off, ha! When i took it to the garage to get it roadworth it need things like bulbs, the radiator hoses messed with, a gasket changed that costed a few hundred, and a few other things, and even though it cost me $1000 in total to get up to roadworthy state. I was happy with it. Given how much i paid and how much i could of sold it for.
I've heard of the transmissions being worn out. If the transmission was worn out, would it be plausable to put a second hand one on, if i got it installed cheap, given that the labor to install one is 500 dollars, getting it installed cheaply would be a great help.
