Hi all, I'm new here!
I just lost my VN commodore yesterday in a 4 car pile up and am now going through the motions of trying to find myself a low cost replacement... I checked out a VR Wagon today and was wondering what advice anyone had for me. It's been a long time since I had to buy a car and so I am really out of practice... The one I had checked out today was a '93 VR Wagon, white, had done 287,000 kms and was going for $4000 with a 12 month warranty up to $500 on the engine and transmission. It had the option of buying a warranty of up to $700 on the engine and transmission which also covered things like the starter motor, alternator and the like for $100. I was told that the only things they had done to it was to detail it and cover some chips in the paint work and that it didn't have the common problems of the main rear seal and power steering leaks. It comes with a cd player, air con and factory fitted ABS. Didn't take it for a spin, but did turn it over and the engine sounded good... The tail pipe was showing its age and the driver and passenger seats were a little loose, but apart from that it seemed in pretty good nick. Just wanted peoples thoughts on what I should look for and how to go about finding it. The service history of the car was covered up to the 90,000 km mark but had a sticker on the window saying it was serviced 2000 kms ago and was due in a few months or at 295,000 kms. My mechanic advised me to hunt for a VR or VS, so thought I'd come here and ask for some friendly advice! thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer me.
Take care all.
