low klms ??

[gungazza]

im looking at a vt 5lt, only has 81,000 on it , my question is ,if the speedo cluster was changed ,then would the speedo reading be the one on the changed cluster ,eg car speedo 250,000ks new changed speedo 81000. could be genuine ,but something seems sus , only 81000 on a 13 yr car ,have not seen car ,only pics, looks ok

ive had mine vx for 2 years now, when i brought it had 44,000kms on it. it was genuine. he was the first owner of the car. so it may be a diffrent cluster but u might be lucky enough to find a great deal. do u no how many owners have had it?

[Macca86]

Maybe its done 999,999kms + another 81,000km. LOL.
It IS possible to change a cluster and put in one with lower kms. Wait til you check out the rest of the car and see what vehicle history is available (i.e. previous services/owners etc). I looked at a ute once and it had 124,000km on the clock... yet I read the service sticker on the windscreen that stated 'next service due: 195,000km' . Yours is quite possibly just a low km car if the rest of the car looks mint as well. If not, then could be a sus one

Check log books first if none a bit sus straight away..Check interior to see if worn out carpet & seat trim etc etc.

u can also program the cluster...my mates vq qent to 999999 when he shorted it, and he got it reset

[kniever]

it is possible to be genuine, my vn had genuine 130,000km on it when i bought it, same deal as above, was one owner car with log books to prove it and that was a 17 year old car.

theres another dude on here with a vn with something like 30,000km, so low k's on a vt isnt that sus to me, just check for log books.

My new Time Capsule VN

[gungazza]

saw the car today, its mint condition ,not a mark eny where, only under the front bar ,a few little scraps, interior mint ,not even a creace in the seats material; down side--- thay want $10,000, bit much , i think, what do you guys think.

[Macca86]

Hell no. $10K in that condition with those kms? Buy it. Im buying one on a lot tomorrow with 185,000km on it and they have $10k on it

[11gothevt11]

Sounds stupit but do a revs check !!!!

[gungazza]

its in a car yard so should be ok

[MR_VX]

only $10,000 mate ur mad no to buy it today do it do it do it
by the way is it manual or auto?

I sold my then 11 year old VN SS in 2001 with only 75,000km on it, my current VX SS which is 9 years old has only 65,000km on it, so there are low km cars around if you look.
I would just really have a good look at the log books and any receipts and check that dates and km match throughout. Just realised it is in a car yard, so get the details of the previous owner and give them a call to confirm km and get a bit more info on its history, you might get a feeing from the previous owner as to whether it all gels, or if something sounds suss.
If the previous owner was geniune I can't see how they would be bothered by you giving them a call. Sounds like a nice car.

Revs check not only checks to see if money owing on it
Revs check also tells you if speedo have been tampered with...
And a far few other things

It's nice there's still a few around in really mint condition, another guy in my street has a Series I VT Exec (same as mine) and the car has been flogged from day 1 by the looks of it

You're right to be cautious though, hopefully it's all good and you've found a gem.

[MikeCuzzy]

Nope, mine is a completely stock Series I VT Exec. No kit, no nothing.
