6 or 8? If it's a 6 make sure the service history is impeccable.

I have had my V6 VZ Calais for about 9 years and it has over 250,000km on it now. No major issues really. A few O2 sensors needed replacing back when it was still under warranty. Had a radiator let go earlier this year. Rear parking sensors have always been intermittent but really don't worry about it much anymore. I have been considering getting a VF but having a hard time justifying it when my VZ is still doing everything I need.

Cheers for the feedback mate, i actually ended up getting a holden ve 2008 instead as a first car so see how that goes. Thanks mate.

Same deal with those just fyi. Prone to sludging if services are missed. 08 is a good model though as they didn't have the timing chain issues the earlier ones did.
