1987 Holden Commodore VL review from Australia and New Zealand
"A very nice, powerful car to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Crack in the front windscreen when it was bought, previous owner said he'd pay for a new one. When the windscreen came out there was a lot of rust around the edge. Cost $300 to repair that.
Rust around the boot seal and where the spare tyre goes.
Boot release didn't work, easily fixed by adjusting where the boot rests.
General comments?
Lovely first car, I'm glad to have it.
It has extractors and a 2.5" exhaust system, sounds really nice, and make it preform well too.
The engine had just been rebuilt before I got it, and it drives like it has only done 100k Kms.
It also has a Berlina dash and sports steering wheel which makes it nicer to drive.
