1986 Holden Calais VL review from Australia and New Zealand
"A nice looking car that goes well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It had been messed up a bit electricly with the cars wiring because the old alarm had not been taken out properly.
Apart from that it just needed a new timing belt changed and a tune.
General comments?
I'm am definitely happy with this car I have bought. I have had people say to me they would never buy a turbo car. But I have had no problems so far, no oil leaks of any kind.
A great car that handles well with the power that you want at half the cost of running a V8 car.
