What model Commodore on a $5000 budget?

[philbio]

Hi All,

I need to upgrade from my good old VK, looking for a good reliable model with comfort, good handling and reasonable economy (I drive between Adelaide and Melbourne every couple of Months), can I get some recommendations on a good model to look out for a $5000 budget?

Many Thanks for any advice and Happy New Year

Hi All,

looking for a good reliable model with comfort, good handling and reasonable economy

But I thought you wanted a commodore?

What are you after? V6, v8, wagon or sedan or even gas?

 

[philbio]

LOL, thanks guys, V6/Sedan can be LPG.

vs statesman? vx berlina? ive got no idea what theyre going for these days, but remember to budget for repairs and maintenance that will show its face just after you buy it

Should be able to pick up a VY for that

Vt or VX Calais? If you're doing big trips like that, you want to cruise in comfort.

I recently picked up a VY Exec wagon, on gas with roady and reg for $4500.

VQ Statesman V8 on Gas
you might just get a VY V6 certainly a VT-VX.

If not a commodore why not a manual corolla, good on fuel, throw some decent wheels & tires on it, decent shocks and it would drive pretty nice. certainly be cheaper to run.
