1997 Holden Commodore VT Executive review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I don't know much about cars, get in start it and go sort of thing, I am wanting to sell my VT so went to get a RWC. I was told that the power steering pump was leaking and the rack needed replacement. From reading other peoples comments I see this is not uncommon for this year of car and it has done almost 170,000Km, it has a full service history however. I was quoted about $1000 to have this fixed to RWC standard. My question is, is this about what you can expect to pay for this type of work? and am I best to go to Holden service or will my local garage do the same job?
General comments?
I love the car, but now have a new VE commodore as a company car.
