Looking for VR6...

**dom123** · 03-01-2008, 09:23 AM

sorry posted this thread twice cause i accidently put it in the mk2 forum section first!

Hey all my name is Dom ,im currently looking for a first car and the vr6 is my first choice.
Its just really hard to find one worth buying as they are so scarce ,let alone in NSW.
i have found one for the pretty good price of $7000 here are some details:
-1994 vr6
-lowered 2 inches eibach springs
-ss 2 inch extractors
-ottinger ss exhaust system from cat back
-new mass air flow sensor
-monza race seats,white dial set
-kyb gas struts on all 4 corners
-recently replaced tyres
-149000 kms

and as far as problems go the heater is not working due to a bypassed leak, the central locking is playing up and there are a few minor paint chips.
here is a link to the ad

everyones opinion would be highly appreciated as well as tips and advice as to what else to consider when buying a vr6.

cheers
Dom

central locking isnt too hard to fix if u are able to work on a car yourself. It usually relates to an air leak in the lines or a failed pump.

Id be cautious of buying a car with a disconnected heater. It needs to be connected for roadworthy in vic. Im assuming it would be the same up there. And its a HUGE job to replace. If you get it done professionally you could be looking at the wrong side of $1000! So yeah. either buy with a roadworthy or cheap would be my best advice cos VR6 parts are far from cheap!

For its age, that's really not too bad.

Hey dom,

i checked out the car for ya,

its a 1996 model, red and has 182,000kms.
The only downer i can see is that its auto. Looks completely immac, everything is original too the BBS wheels. Its 86 Parramatta Rd Granville. Price is $8990 but its been there for a while so i reckon you could beat them down, also 3 yrs warrenty.

Cheers
Luke
