    Hi all,

    I am about to purchase a VS (I am thinking about getting a berlina - good choice or should i go for acclaim/executive????). What should I look out for when looking at a vs - any obvious signs that it is not a good vehicle??? I am going to put new exhaust, cold air, and lower it for starter. Anyone know of good places in VIC that have good prices on these parts/services???

    Thanks guys, your help will be greatly appreciated!!!

    make sure it doesnt blow smoke

    check kms

    check oil leaks and colour of oil

    check coolant

    check all the interior things.. aka air con, cruise, c-lighter, lights

    check if a current service manual

    heaps of things to check mate, ur buying a new car make sure u sus it out 100%

    berlina is better then a executive btw so yer berlina should mean eletric's i think

    all the best

    and good luck in ur buy

    Thanks

    Yeah the berlina has electrics, climate control etc whereas the executive doesn't. Thanks for the checklist, few things on there I wouldn't have thought to check!!!!! I should have a car within the next few weeks, will let you know what I end up getting. Can't wait to start getting my hands dirty and doing some mods!!!

    Cheers:D

    yes and just take your time, make sure you check out for dings and damage. and try and drive a few to get a feel of what the benchmark should be! good luck
