just checkd out a vr6.....

[BL33SU]

so yeh, went to look at a vr6 at north sydney. has sunroof, leather but colour is maroon :(

1st owner since new, but the engine bay is all dirty. and i noticed few plugs are gone and their wiring is cut.

gonna wait abit to see if any others pop up for sale..

[peedman]

How much were they asking for and what year was it? It seems VR's are getting harder to buy these days since the majority are aging and not kept in good nick.

[MattyT]

^^^ What he said.

Mine was in very so-so condition when I got it. Have dropped a few $k in repairs so far.

[BL33SU]

its a 1994, he wants $10k ono

[evorobin]

Maroon is a crap colour. Guy had a lovely Audi V8 he couldn't shift purely for that reason. Tatty VR6's fetch sub $5K at auction. Even a nice one should be $8K private imo. With nice mk2's under $5K now I don't think that is unrealistic.

[Golf Loon]

VR6s are ageing and not well. Most have been flogged or crashed, or both.

Email Oli, his brother has a nice black 1997 model one for sale.

I see tatty ones for $4k-5k and nice ones for $9.

[BL33SU]

alrite i'l email him about it.. thanks.

[peedman]

Even his red Gti is awesome. Oli took me for a spin and its got all the VR6 goodies but with the purrrty 16v 2.0 engine!!! :)

Id think about that car as well!

[Golfer]

I think about that car... all the time :rolleyes:

His cars really nice heard him rev the hell out of it oh so good.

Look for a white vr6 I heard thats a nice colour;)

[BlackVr6ix]

People are starting to ask crazy prices for VR's. i dont know if i'd take the 16v over a vr6.... VR just makes such a good noise!

[gpk_gti]

10k for 94 hot chilli(maroon) sounds like a dreamer!!!! shop around,,,ill keep my eyes open!:rolleyes:

[pommy_golfer]

Aint nothing wrong with a Maroon VR6...take a look at my one. I think any metallic painted VR looks nicer than any flat colour, especially white...

he has the worst advertisement for his car, and not many ppl have been looking at his car, doesnt have any pics.

only thing i dont like about the car is the engine bay and everything in there.. heaps dirty and few plug wires been snapped off or cut. and i'm not too sure what the plugs are for..

[rayray086]

How many K's has it done? Don't know if you've checked out my post on the VR6 colour concept I saw at a used dealer - $8999 it was asking for but it had done 19x,xxx km's. Looked great throughout, but would be a bit sceptical on the mechanicals of it.

[BL33SU]

this 1 had done 138,xxxk's

ohhh no,here we go!!!:D ,, :o relax boyz!! he said "i think"..
anyway back to the topic!!!
dont buy any car without checking it out with a mechanic first...not nrma/dodgy side road check=$300,,, get someone like golf loon or william to come out with you to see the car or take it to them,most ppl wont mind(if they know nothing is wrong with the car!) check it,check it and CHECK IT AGAIN!!!!!!!! hard to find a clean vr6 these days as was said already!!!!

I found my car without any pics rang the bloke up and got lucky. Give the engine bay a clean man degreaser and spray it:)

[MattyT]

Yeah man get it checked by Loon or a fellow watercooler.

I didnt get mine checked and have copped a few unwelcome surprises. I paid $7.5k for mine with 238,xxx K's on the clock. I got ripped, but i drove the car once and loved it. The 2nd drive two weeks later sealed it. Damn my foolish heart!

[DUBING]

i got a pretty good deal with my one...:) it was mint aswell :o

[pommy_golfer]

imm not saying white is crap, im just saying i prefer mettalic clours on my cars...

white is ok, pearl white is better....but there are alot of white cars here in NSW....

[monkeysrus]

Hot chili red pearl look nice. Just ask me.:)

Car is for sale soon too.:(
