Looks like a nice car Luke but I'd be asking why it has been resprayed.
It may have been in an accident.
Get a vehicle inspection from NRMA etc.

$13500 seems pretty pricey to me.

ive seen a few VT's with full bodykits and nice mods for 11-12k

looks like a clean car though.

I bought my VT Berlina approx. two years ago, with 120,000kms, mint condition for 14k.

I know the car you're looking at has rims, bodykit etc, but just something to think about.

I dunno what the vic car market is like, but around this way that is overpriced and you could get a lot more for your money.

Redbook is useless when it come to a car with that many mods.
