1996 Holden Commodore VS Executive. Rear wheel drive. 3.8L V6 Ecotec Petrol. Automatic. 259,052 km indicated. 4-Door Sedan. 5 seats.
Description
There are not many cars more straightforwardly Australian than the VS Commodore Executive. Base-spec, rear-wheel drive, 3.8L Ecotec V6 pushing power through a GM four-speed auto. The Executive trim was the entry point of the VS range, which means no frills but all the fundamentals. These things are known for running reliably well past 300,000 km with basic servicing, and the Ecotec V6 is about as bulletproof as family car engines get.
The paint shows its age, as you would expect from a 30-year-old red car. There is some fading across the body and a noticeable discoloured patch on the rear quarter panel, likely sun damage or oxidation. Body panels are generally straight with no obvious major dents or collision repair visible. The factory steel wheels with hub caps are all present and intact. Tie rod ends have been replaced with the old parts still in the boot, which is a recent maintenance item worth noting. No interior photos were provided so the cabin will need an in-person check.
At 259,052 km this is a high-mileage car, and the price guide sits accordingly. This is either a budget runabout for someone who just needs transport, a parts car, or a base for someone who wants to do an engine swap or resto project. The VS platform has a strong support network in Australia and parts are plentiful. Not a lot of money for a car that can genuinely be driven away.
