    Default V8 Calais???

    Ok im upgrading to a Gen 3 Calais in a couple of months, cant wait!!
    I was just wondering if ther is anything specific i should look out for when lookin g at the car.
    I want either black or the deft blue on the vx international. Just wondering because i want to get the shale leather and sunroof etc. Just wondering if there are any problems with the electrics or anything.

    Cheers

    Go for a drive, systematically run through everything on the car, only way to know.

    oh also, much better if you can do this without the owner over your shoulder

    yeh i suggest the V8 international.. and yeh in delft blue.. looks sweet :P..

    as said above just do a thorough run over of the car and without the dealer looking over your shoulder.. Depending on your age, the dealer might refuse a solo test drive, so bring one of your parents if that is the case.

    just listen for excessive piston slap or other noises with the gen3, and the usual holden wear on the rest of the car, rasius rod bushes etc.
    all gen3s are loud with some kind of tick or rattle of some kind so dont panic
