    Default $6,000 VR/VS Clubsport

    Yep, that's right. There's one around the corner for only $6k! I'm not sure if it's a VR or VS though...

    What could be seriously wrong with it for a price like this? Besides massive km's of course... Does come with a RWC too.

    I know it runs on duel fuel, and I've always thought this is something to avoid. Any thoughts?

    Maybe its been jumped? Nah all shit boxes are worth nothing these days, check out the prices on redbook for a VR V6 II http://www.redbookasiapacific.com/au...p?key=HOLD95BP

    Id say its a 12 yo car that has every common fault go wrong with it and needs a full restoration.
    Jumping Commodores is the right thing to do... Flex is a good thing.

    If its got P plates on it don't even bother.

    Not saying all or even any p platers thrash their cars, but with the price $6'000 its likely that it has been :P.

    Yeah I've seen one go on eBay for similar money...it needed paint and mechanical work.

    If it's in a yard for that much then it obviously has faults, wear and tear... The main thing I'd be worried about is if it has been smashed and straightened again.

    I got our VS Senator up for 9k, nothing wrong with it execpt it needs an A/C regas.
    Other than that, its great!!!
    We just upgraded to a new car.
    Duel Fuel too. . . .
    So u can grab a good bargain, they are around, but as mentioned sometimes too good to be true is too good to be true. . . .
    Stoke my ego, click the scales!!!
    Stoke it!!!!
    LOVE IT!!!!!

    have a look at the vin in the front window (bottem right) if it has VR in it its a VR if it has VS in it its a VS.... also if its not debadged.. silver new skool badge = VS
    black old skool badge = VR


    and if that still dosnt help hopefully it has a engine in it and if its the VS engine you know what it is vice versa

    do you know how many K's it has? 6spd manual?

    and... when was the LPG tank last checked? needs to be checked every 10 years i think it is... im pritty sure that can cost a fair bit... just like everything lol
