YEAR: 1992, November
SERIES: VP Series 1
BADGE: Berlina
ENGINE: 3.8L V6

TYRE SIZE INCLUDING LOAD RATING: 215/60R15
ODOMETER: 242,xxx (stuck) approx 290,000 now.
SERVICE HISTORY: Full history from original purchase
REGO OF CAR: VIC
REGO TILL: None when sold
PLATES INCLUDED: no
RWC: NO
DELIVERY/PICK UP INFORMATION: Pickup only from Rowville, 3178; SE Suburbs of Melbourne. Will not deliver.
PAYMENT OPTIONS: Cash
CONTACT DETAILS: In this thread or PM. Mobile will be released to person who buys the car.
OTHER INFO:
NO RWC OR REGO. Car is currently registered, but it needs major work to have RWC, so selling unregistered. Plates will be taken off very soon.
To start off with, I will list what needs to be done for RWC:
Left Hand taillight broken (2cm wide hole)
Right Hand tallight faded
Right Hand Front indicator lense (broken lense, part that is broken is in the glovebox)
Steering wheel (can rotate cover around wheel, as in, not clockwise around wheel, but other way from front to back)
Odometer (stuck)
Engine mounts
Oil leaks (oil in the coolant [very brown and sludgy coolant]). Suspected to be the inlet manifold gasket.
Right hand front brake hose twisted
Sway bar link bushes
Rear muffler (rusting and falling to pieces, still works though)
Trandsucer oil leaks
Strut tops (cracked)
Roof lining (falling down everywhere). Held up by edges and centre light.
Universal joint.
When I picked up the car from the RWC check, I asked the mechanic approximately how much to fix all this, and he said roughly $2,000 to $2,500. Thus the car would be good as spare parts for your project or as a car that a mechanically minded person could do up.
When fan in car runs, can sometimes smell petrol. Suspected fuel pump seal broken. My solution was to have the fan off and windows open.
Modifications:
No performance mods at all. Engine is totally standard. Suspension and drivetrain is all standard as well. Body is standard.
Previous owner had fitted a headlight on chime, so when the car is turned off but the lights are still on, it beeps.
Steering wheel appears to be from a VN Calais.
Will not come with any CD/Radio or any speakers.
Drivers door armrest has a small crack/line in it. Does not affect the performance of the arm rest.
Centre seat in the back has somehow been pushed down, so now it hits the diff hump behind it. Really need to see this in action to understand it.
Both ashtrays in the rear door armrests have lids that don't close properly.
Generic carmats all round included.
Seat covers fitted to front seats. Match colour of interior well. Drivers side is well used, passenger side not as much. Pockets on rear of seat covers have been used to house Melways, so a bit saggy.
Apart from the issues raised above, this car runs fine. I take it for a 10-15 minute drive once or twice a week to keep it running (charged).

Any other questions don't hesitate to post here or PM me.
I Want this gone ASAP, as I now have another car, and don't have room to keep 2 cars.
