The car looks great, what mods are you hoping to do to it?

Not sure yet mate, will wait till I get it and then start working things out :) Can't pick it up till Thursday now which sucks :( Was supposed to be picking it up today.

Thanks mate :) Nah don't think I'll ever get carried away like that anymore, so much money. Just want it as a nice daily car!

Clean. I much prefer these over the VZ Calais.

Same here mate, I was looking at a VZ Calais about the same price but decided on the VYII because I much prefer the look. Plus more reliable engine.

that is the best interior ever fitted to a commodore

It is an awesome interior, bit worried about the carpet but I'm really fussy so I will look after it and make sure it stays clean :)

No updates yet. As said, was meant to pick it up today but because the car is under finance, I have to wait until Thursday when they close the loan and pay it out. Then I can hand over the money and take it!

Mate the old L67 is a pretty hardy old donk. Just keep it serviced and keep an eye on the LIM gaskets as they tend to fail.
