- 2000 VTII Commodore Olympic, 2012 Ford Focus ST
Hello all,
It's been a Commodore-less 15 months so here is my latest acquisition.
1999 VTII S pack, supercharged. Picking it up this weekend. Price was $2500, 252000 on the clock. Looking to keep it/maintain it as a modern classic vehicle (looking at what's on offer Supercharged V6s aren't that common). VTII are from an era that is now disappearing so decided to get one while I can at the bottom of the depreciation curve.
Plans.....car is an ex-trade-in from the Holden Dealer in Goulburn, so its being sold undetailed. I am going to start by giving it a good clean and polish. Next I'll make sure that all roadworthy/safety items are fine (rego is up in June 2017), then I will fix any other mechanical flaws it may have. If there are minor dings I will have my PDR guy to have a look at it. As the vehicle is in Goulburn and I am in Orange, I haven't had a chance to inspect it and I am relying 100% on the sellers notes in the eBay ad.
