Description

Price is dropping - don't be the one who misses out.

Go on - make an offer - you know you want to.

Vehicle is located in the Omapere/Opononi area.

Listing on behalf of our neighbour, and a great opportunity to own an affordable manual V8 Commodore. He needs a new excavator and one of his V8 Commodores needs to go to make that happen

Well priced, higher mileage, manual VY2 V8 LS1 Commodore now available for purchase.

Body and interior are, in my opinion, below average for the year but in accordance with the mileage.

Highly recommend that you view the vehicle to satisfy yourself of the condition before making any offer, but it won't disappoint at this price point.

New heavy duty clutch, power steering pump, alternator and drive belt.

Engine appears to have had some performance modifications under previous ownership (but can't be confirmed) as it goes better than expected for an LS1 of this era.

Has been lowered on aftermarket suspension and has custom exhaust. Drives well, and sounds like it should.

Leather interior Drivers seat stitching needs repair (see photo) Right rear window not working All the door locks work 18" wheels Air conditioning not working Needs a damn good clean and some mats

All questions welcomed - I have access to the car and should be able to answer them for you in a reasonable time frame.

    Thanks for your enquiry - and yes to power steering pump and alternator receipts. No receipts for the clutch but, if you know your stuff, you can tell from the release point that its fresh, and the pedal weight is not standard. brake (292) • Monday, 30 March 2026

    Only one way to find out - stick the offer on paper (or digitally as it is in this case) and I'll present it to the owner. Don't anyone bother with making an offer without a 1 in front of it as I'll take it off his hands myself. Good luck. Cheers, Steve. brake (292) • Monday, 6 April 2026

    You'll have me feeling like a real estate agent doing a back and forth, and It's easily worth the kind of numbers that we're now all talking. Cheers, Steve. brake (292) • Tuesday, 7 April 2026

    By looking at the photos this car been in a accident. Front bumper has been changed. Front guards appear to be a different shade of red . Headlights don’t align with bumper. Bonnet gaps a different on each side . oscar_george (261) • 8:17 pm, Thu, 14 May

    That's why the photos are there, so you can see all those discrepancies. And all those fit and finish blemishes are why it's not a low mileage concours condition 20k motor car. I take it you're not making an offer? Cheers, Steve. brake (292) • Thursday, 14 May 2026

    Interestingly, considering the amount of watchers, (lowball) offers, and behind the scene e-mails - not one person has actually bothered to look at the car. I reckon that if somebody was actually to view it, and was realistic enough to know that they aren't going to own it for 5 grand, they'd probably drive away in it thinking to themselves that they've scored well even if isn't a choc mint original. You'll never know? Seller comment Friday, 15 May 2026
  • B
    And I do have a question for the viewers - it has an 'SS' instrument cluster - is that normal for an 'S' or has it been swapped out? Seller comment Friday, 15 May 2026
  • B
    Oscar George - I tried to counter offer with 20 grand for a bit of fun - but the system won't let me counter offer over the asking price. Cheers, Steve. Seller comment Friday, 15 May 2026
  • B
    I have an answer from the current owner. It had an HSV front put on it a while ago by a previous owner who also fitted the SS instrument cluster. Seller comment Friday, 15 May 2026
