    holden
    hello my name is dodgy and im wondering what i could do to my vp holden to get more money for it. its done about 262000kms its a sedan, 4 spd auto its had a few things fixed on it and it still needs somethings fixed on it like the following.

    1. Leaky power steering and gronaning pump (does that have to be fixed)
    2. Shakey steering wheel.
    3. Rust hole in boot about 20 mm x 30 mm (Might do as is).
    4. Stalling problem fixed as it sometimes stalls not always though.
    5. Rough idle problem fixed as it sometimes idles rough not always though.

    the reason im asking this is because im not getting much money to afford the difference on the ford that i want (EB2, ED Fairmont) and im looking to get as much from this car as i can so i dont have to find as much money to pay the difference.

    thanks for your time

    Burn it. It sounds like its ****ed. Tow it to the tip and get $50 bucks for it. That should be enough to buy ten EB Fords

    the most money you can make from it would be to sell it as parts, that said if it's that shagged i'm not sure youd make much frmo it.

    As is, you'll get $1000 max, I think. With repairs, maybe $1500 if you find a sucker. You have to ask yourself if the extra effort and expense is worth a $500 return :p

    There was a lady two streets down from me, trying to sell a MANUAL vn with about 270,000 on the clock - ran smooth as silk, and went hard. I test drove it a couple of times. The bodywork/interior was rough, and she was asking only $1000, and it took her almost 6mths to sell it. For a manual. There's some perspective :)

    lol @ hillerus. I believe Kilsyth Parts will throw in a free ED Fairmont with every set of genuine Holden hubcaps purchased.
