VP Commordore

A $1000 dollars if your lucky and its in half decent condition who wants one ? When I joined this site they used to say no Commodore was an old holden. Don't be kidding yourself a v6 VP is going to be worth much.

Hiding rust under body filler isn't actually repairing the car. Even harder to catch out bogmen these days as filler has metal fibres in it.

G,day Stevie

I can't believe the price of the SS's though,might keep mine a few more years yet!..:)

G'day Stevie-Rob..
I bought a fantastic one a few years back for $800, VP Vacationer sedan. Had 89,000 careful K's. Still got it, it's a great car. It's now got 99,962K's. I'm trying not to reach 99,999.
Throw some pics up, y'never know, someone might want it..
Scarily, I've been eying off a VN or two around town. I reckon they might be the quiet achiever in the future..

nothing wrong with a good old VN mate,I had one for 7 years the only thing that went wrong with it was an Alternator and Crank angle sensor!..
I reckon they are the better looking model!..:)

There's a nice red one downtown. Very original, faded paint, poverty-pack, looks like with a bit of love it'd come up nice. Bit like the EJs and HDs, nobody wanted them. If I had the room for it, I'd leave a note under the wiper..

Scrap metal value or part it

Submitted by tiki63 on Mon, 03/12/2018 - 07:27.

Scrap metal value or part it out.
Around 4-5 years ago I had a VT Berlina, need engine work but fine otherwise. Call 5 or 6 wreckers and none wanted it. They said they were a dime a dozen and they have more than enough to wreck as it was.
Decent VK’s are the ones to watch and are on the rise. I was watching an olive green one on eBay and was surprised how the bids were climbing.
