Talk me out of buying a Commodore.

First things first though. For a 20k car, I don't mind travelling interstate and driving home for the right car and the right price.

A quick view of the trading post reveals this:





That's a fair bit cheaper than $27,999.

On the flip side..







Now i'm not saying these are the best examples. or the lowest kays, but there are prices like these out there. I've actually looked at the Calais above and it's pretty tidy, I couldn't fault the exterior. (No I didn't test drive it.) Just a update that things aren't as expensive as they seem..

Fair enough mate, you never mentioned looking interstate at all so i was working on local prices.
The first BA has a s... load of K's so i'm not surprised at it's price, low K standard XR's are getting that money here, i would say it's rough.
The second one is obviously a private sale and by the "reluctant sale' comment i'd say it is a forced quick sale of some sorts.
The third and forth cars are VT's, ones got a too many k's the other seems a bit rich but has been optioned so heavily he thinks it's worth more which we all know isn't the case.
The last one, the Calais ,is a nice car, i would seriously consider it.
I used to work for these guys (Nathan and Nathan) and they sell good quality cars, i considered buying a 98 NL Fairlane V8 from them 2 mths ago.
The only reason i didn't get it was due to my wife preferring the VT.

I have owned a N/A BA and i must admit it was a lemon, it was always in the dealers for brake drag woes, was heavy on fuel.
The missus prefers the Commodore hands down
