1984 Holden Commodore VK review from Australia and New Zealand
"Cheap, relatively powerful and very reliable 1st car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Timing Gear(about $350).
Fly wheel (another expensive job).
Front struts & rear shocks worn out (Recently had them replaced).
Hole in radiator.
Steering rack due to be replaced. (Hopefully that is the end of this list for awhile)!
General comments?
The odometer had been tampered with and has stopped at 241,000km (It's probably done 5000,000km)!
The "Beast" handles much better with the new gas shocks!
I run it on gas, so it is very cheap to run. The money saved on petrol over 5 years would easily cover the major repairs.
This has been a great first car, I try to look after it.
