2013 Holden Commodore VF SV6
I found a 2013 Holden Commodore SV6 VF that has done 100,000kms and is under $20k nzd. Everything looks nice interior/exterior wise, but I'm more worried about the high KMs. Do you think this will be okay for the VF model? Will it last with regular service intervals? It comes with up to date service history.

Thanks.

P.s My first post here! :) And I am in New Zealand.

How often was it serviced? Who did the servicing ?
High kms alone don't mean much...

It has been serviced every 15,000kms at a good mobile mechanic according to Google searches.

20000klms a year is average.
So it did 25000kms a year 5000 a year more that is not much.

As Ron said above "High kms alone don't mean much"

It has been serviced every 15,000kms at a Holden dealership.
If they used semi synth oil 15k service interval is not ideal. Even with full synth oil it is pushing it a bit.

Just bought it: https://imgur.com/a/MfO5i

I think the front tires need to be replaced soon, and apart from a couple of bumps and bruises, seems to drive well.

Does anybody know how much it is to roughly service one of these? Particularly in New Zealand?

Thanks!

Was the 100,000kms service done have a look in the service book in the glove box?
There not cheap.
If it has been done and stamped in the book don`t do anything drive it get used to it.
Then at 107,500Kms get oil and filter change.
Find out what oil they are putting in and post here mate.

Ask mates/neighbours/work mates where they get their`s serviced word of mouth can be good.
Do some research then make up your mind.
Good luck.

PS. Tell us what oil the car is using please

Apparently it's due for one at 105,000kms.

I'll look on the windscreen sticker to see what oil they're putting in and report back.
