It's my first car and she's completely stock and in immaculate condition, apart from a few scratches. Interior looks like it hasn’t been sat on. Picked it up for $7000 back in Feb 2011, yes, it was a fair bit for a VS, but it drove like it just came out of the factory, had low kms and it came with a full 12 months rego at the time. Came with log books, service history and even the original '96 purchase invoice.

As for future mods, I plan on keeping it looking like a tidy daily/cruiser
- SL springs all around
- Short travel shocks to suit ride height
- Adjustable pan-hard bar
- 15" white wall tyre inserts on stock rims
- VR/VS 'S' boot lip spoiler
- Slimline number plate re-issues
- 80L Long-range fuel tank in 2k silver
- Twin tip exhaust
- Window tint
- Electric 2-way glass sunroof
- Chrome interior door handles
- 2500k yellow euro-style fog light bulbs

pretty much the exact the same as my car but 5 times cleaner, but of course you would expect that from a $7000 vs
did you get it from a dealership or something?

Haha, nah it was private. Advertised for $7900, got it down to 7 but it was still a bit pricey, oh well.

Looks very neat and not one blemish on the paint it looks like it was well looked after and always garaged

Thanks mate, there's a few little dents and scratches the camera doesn't show, repairing them is first on my list

Thanks man, I like the stock look. Good luck with yours mate.

Yeah I could have gotten something newer too, it's just that I like vs's more and this one's in good nick. At the end of the day, I'm happy with it.

That looks very nice...even your passenger side airbag cover isn't curling up...lucky f*#@er!!!

Great find. Is $7k really that expensive for a car in that condition ? I would prefer it to mattstatesman's missus VZ that's for sure. Esp with that colour. 138,000 kms over 15 years or 140,000 over 6-7 years...hmmmm.

Make sure you look after her....she's a keeper.

Have to agree a keeper see if you can get agreed value on it.
For mine it`s about $7200 I think.
Enjoy driving it.
Cheers Pete :beer chug:
