Description:

1990 Holden Commodore VN Sedan - Gold - 219,702km - 3.8L V6 Automatic

Overview

The VN Commodore represents a significant chapter in Australian automotive history. Launched in 1988, the VN generation brought modern engineering, improved safety, and genuine comfort to the family sedan segment. This 1990 example is a four-door, five-seat sedan powered by Holden's robust 3.8-litre V-angle six-cylinder engine paired with an automatic transmission, delivering reliable rear-wheel-drive motoring that defined the era. With 219,702 kilometres on the odometer, this Commodore carries genuine age and use, presenting as an honest, unrestored example of 1990s Australian family transport.

The gold exterior presents with a patina consistent with the vehicle's age and kilometres. Paint holds reasonable gloss across the visible panels, with minor stone chipping evident on the bonnet leading edge and light surface oxidation typical of a 34-year-old sedan. The body panels are straight with no obvious dents or creases. Trim and badging remain intact. The four-door configuration and standard sedan proportions are clean and unmodified. Wheels are steel with hubcaps, presenting as original specification. Interior trim shows wear consistent with the vehicle's age and mileage, with cloth upholstery on the five-seat configuration displaying expected fading and minor wear to the bolsters. The dashboard is intact with no obvious cracks. Instrumentation is analogue, with the odometer reading clearly visible at 219,702 kilometres. The steering wheel shows age-appropriate wear. Climate control and basic comfort features are present. The engine bay displays the original 3.8-litre V-angle six-cylinder engine in serviceable condition, with fluid levels visible and no obvious leaks. The automatic transmission engages smoothly. Boot space is accessible with the spare wheel present.

At the budget end of the classic sedan market, this VN Commodore offers genuine 1990s Australian motoring at an entry-level price point. Comparable examples in similar condition typically guide between $2,500 and $4,500 depending on mileage and presentation. This example represents affordable classic car ownership for enthusiasts seeking an honest, unmodified example of the model that defined a generation of Australian family motoring.
