Several radiator hoses have come apart.
Accelerator cable is fraying.
Radiator coolant reservoir needed to be replaced.
Several globes inside the cabin have broken.
Tail lights are some how filling up with water.
I feel my VL has enough power to satisfy any P plate driver. I am only 17 years old, and I feel like I have picked up the best car a leaner driver could learn in. Although I haven't driven long enough to know a lot about cars, I think this model was good.
The RB30E Nissan engine starts every time, and the car drives better than both of my older brother's cars. A Ford XF, and a Holden VH.
The car has some scratches, but the interior is quite good. But hey, the car is 15 years old, and what more could you ask for a first car, without taking out a loan?
I got the same car as you. I do agree the VL is a good car to start off with.
Even for a 15 year car they keep running with little problems.
