There any reason not to get a vy clubsport r8?
i am looking at one with 190,000km for 11.5k dollarydoos, has just had all the rubbers replaced, new radiator new hoses, new water pump, cold air intake, mild cam, 2.5 inch twin system, just been tuned for the engine work (315rwkw) twin plate clutch etc.
hard to find a reason not to do it.
anything i should look out for?
all the common problems seem to have been fixed, is an ls1 btw.
looks like pic, same colour and same rims
>VY commodore
>190,000km
>$11k
it better come with a 24 karat gold and diamond encrusted air filter.
>b-but it’s a HSV!
>it’s hand built greatness!
it is a car of limited production (400 autos 370 manuals) soon to be a classic.
it is only going to go up in value, they were 8-10k a few years ago so they have already started to go up.
plans are to make it a weekend car at best, it might come out of the shed once a month.
If you're not going to use it why buy it?
For the same price you could buy a VY ss and then make it 450kw reliably
why would you daily drive it?
>spend $11500 for a 190 000km commonhore
>drive it once a month
wew money well spent
nice omega

>classic
Yeah, just like any other car. My mk4 golf is soon to be classic too, but doubt any collectorfag would want one.
>but muh car is special
Yeah, might be cool in AUS or wherever the fuck you live, no one recognises that shit in rest of the world. It will rise on value if mint condition, again, just like any generic car on the road. Not to mention it already has 200k km, which is a no-no for anyone who wants an unmolested one.
mate you can buy a v8 for $5000 or under
spending $11k for a 200k km holden with a bodykit is fucken retarded unless you're absolutely rich as fuck
>can spend 11k for a used performance car
He is rich at some point
Do it man good deal by clubby is nice m8 fuck all the shit poster's
YES FAGGOT IT WILL HOLD ITS VALUE IN AUS
The most common family sedan that will never be rare.
Rising in value.
No doubt. He should spend it on a kingswood instead
My thoughts exactly.
>but it's soon to be a classic
>it's only going to go up in value
>I can't lose money
I've heard this before and it is THE WORST reasoning to buy a car..... cars are not a good investment.
my lifters shat out at 200-220k
225k this happened
5-8k for a rebuild or ls3 swap
10k is too much
offer him 8-9k if he doesnt like it walk
These people think 190k on an LS is a lot. Come back after he hits half a million and you can say that.
it is with a 10 year old ls2 u bugga
>implying it hasnt been limiter bashed for over a decade straight
at least it will need heads and lifters
>I rev bounced my engine for 200k
>yeah nah cunt all good it's gm
>I'm too stupid to fix it and get pissed when the jew tells me to cough up my dole check(ice and big plasma screen fund)
>brah don't do it
>that smashed crab vx valais with the lightbar
Go back to Dapto you dropkick
My VY has 220,000km and the lifters are fine.
next time don't sit around revving it in neutral.
>australian made car
>only good part of it is the american engine
Zeta platform is amazing, would have been even better if they updated it. Only issue was weight
>would have been even better if they updated it
That's basically the role the Alpha platform fills.
Shame they couldn't build a new commodore on it with the LT1
Too bad the car in the OP doesnt even use the Zeta platform, only the VE and VF commodore do...
VY uses the GM V platform and weighed around 1550kg
I usually prefer XT/VX but that one is sexy.
Still looking for a clean VX calais locally that i can put a body kit on.
I never implied the vy was in the Zeta dickhead
dont ell me what to do cunt b et u dont even mang yours ya poof
>smashed crab vxlais
kek my sides how assblown can you be ?
You really think i give a actual fuck what some anons think? You dont even drive cars mate. fuck off back to your containment hugbox and let the oldfags talk ive been here for 11 years i dont need your pissy shit
good luck unless you find one sitting in a garage rotting for 2-5k dont bother as they are all rooted.
>a boat with wheels
>having shit taste
