Buying a VZ, what to look for?

[Big Red VF-SII Go-kart]

If its a VZ that you're after, check the paint on door handles! The paint quality on VZ door handles are shocking, all 4 on mine were replaced twice under warranty. Also get MY06 SV6 if you can ( 2006 model ), this would come standard with side airbags and LSD.

I concur too with the door handles! Not pretty when the glossy red flakes off. But I'm no fan of Holden's current chunky door handles, nor for that matter, the bizarre handbrake (friend has injured his hand jamming it while releasing the handbrake on his VE OMEGA — a separate model of course, but it's time to sound a warning about that shocking handbrake design!).

Check wheel camber at the rear; if no thrust alignment done, expect substantial wear on tyres (inside or outside); same with front.
