Hello to all.
Just joined group for first time.
I am a recently retired, totally burnt-out, former small company owner. I don't know much about cars, just drive them.
I bought a HSV VP-GST from a show room floor with 4,000K Feb.1993. Have owned and loved it ever since. Insurance has been a nightmare in the past, so I have been the only driver. Have done 102,000km to date, mostly to & from school with kids upto 10 years ago. Sat in my factory most of time since, with about 4000km per year since. I need to relunctly sell it. Of all the cars I had, this is the last one, because of the good memories.
My Holden loving friends told me to find a good home for it, so here I am. What should I do next?
Need advice wether to do it up first, what its worth etc.
Can look up details on car if it helps. No modifications done, all original as it worked fine for me.

Hope someone can help.
Thanks

Hey
It's a nice car - VP GTS !!!

Find a collector, perhaps. I assume that good quality HSVs that are kept original would be worth a fair bit.

I would "do it up" - and by that I mean get it detailed, services, etc. If it's in good nick an enthusiast or collector might be interested.

In terms of value I guess you could check out the redbook, however, I think it would have more value than what the redbook would suggest. Search some of the car sales websites (Drive.com.au, carsales.com.au, carpoint.com.au) and see what previous and current VP GTS' have gone for.

Would love to see some photos of it.
