    Hey everyone,

    To cut things short i need to know a few things.
    I am about to buy a VT Berlina Wagon Series 1, but im not convinsed its a Berlina, now before you say "check the ****ing badges" please let me say that there is none, except the lion on the tailgate and bonnet

    ok, im under the impression that the Berlina has the digital Climate contol Rather then the dials featured on the Acclaim and Executive, Wood grain Highlights on the center stack and surrounding the gearstick, side impact airbags and electric seats.

    Now this car Side Airbags, i saw the sticker on the B piller of the car, it DOES NOT have the digital Climate control, im not sure about the woodgrain highlights (i cant remember)

    I'd just like to know weather it is a Berlina or these 'missing' Features are just apart of the 1st series car.

    This is the link to the carhttp://www.carpoint.com.au/used-car/HOLDEN/COMMODORE/Victoria/csn6822794.aspx

    Hands off guys its mine :)

    Please help!

    well actuallyit says vx ss flutes and vy front clip

    but anyways , i think its an exec, the skirting isent the same color as the body, as u said the climat control isent digital and no second air bag? its been converted to berlina, your paying 7 grand for a exec with flutes and a vx bumper dude,

    good luck,

    ( as for the wood grain im not sure mines a series 1 berlina and it doesn't have woodgrain

    im nto sure if execs came with pass airbags but i think acclaims did

    but im pretty sure its not a berlina, skirts arnt the same color as the body the climate control it just doesn't add up,

    IRS, power windows, electric antenna, electric drivers seats...

    based on those, it sounds like a berlina...

    If it doesnt have climate control thats very strange, but more likely that they just added the above rather than removed the climate control?

    Also dunno why you'd take off a berlina front bar and put an exec one on instead?

    So in short... im 50% sure its not a berlina (which means im 50% sure it is lol)

    oh... also, the berlina has that thick plastic along the doors with the chrome strip, which that doesnt have... its looking more and more like an exec to me

    Get the V.I.N. (vehicle identification number) and log on to this site.
    Explain
    This will identify your vehicle.
