Today I went down the local car yard to look at what I thought was a VR/S clubby replica, turns out its a genuine VR Clubby, its priced on the cheap side $6999 what makes me abit suspicious yet still it could be all legit being a higher milage car.....
Ill give you a quick run down of the car, its done 260,000km, 4spd auto, interior is in good condition, paint work not faded or chipped, the body kit and rims are in excellent condition (no scratches on rims, or repairs or replacement of Body kit) all 5 rims are genuine HSV items, air conditioning works and is icy cold!
The only faults I could find was that the roof is sagging (will need replacement), the fog lamp button has pushed back into [behind/inside] the dash.
Took the car for a test drive and it seamed to hold a long time in first and really kicked when changing from 1st-2nd is this normal????
and when turning there was a whining noise sounded like it was comming from the steering rack? what could this be? Just low fluids or is this a normal HSV thing??? yet it wasnt heavy on the steering.
yet before I sign anything im going to get the car RAA checked, coz I might be able to beat the price down if ther are any major "fault" or get them to fix it first.
What I would also like to know is what do I have to look out for on the VR Clubbys? or are they a fairly "safe" car to buy?
IE: like on the VL's gotta check as they get head crack problems.
Im going to be contacting HSV tomorrow to get a check on the VIN and the Plates to make sure its a genuine clubby, just dont want to be spending my money then find out its just a stock commodore made up as a replica.
