1981 Holden Commodore VC review from Australia and New Zealand
"Powerful, Reliable BEAST!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I first got the car it cost me $1200 and there were a few minor issues with it. The left engine mount was broken, Rear gear box mount, body needed a very small touch up, gear box oil valve need replacing. All this cost little over $200 to fix so was quite cheap to repair.
General comments?
Great car to drive. Comfortable, Reliable & immaculate interior. Cheap parts, easy to get and cheap to repair. After touching up the body which cost me $24 for a spray paint can the body now looks brand new. No rust which is great and unusual for such an old car. Engine is quite powerful and defiantly makes it easy to do the odd burn out or just taking off at the lights your always at the head of the pack. I would defiantly recommend a Commodore VC 6 Cylinder to anyone especially a P Plater who needs a cheap reliable car.
