      I paid 6500 for mine with 71,000km on it and probably in not as nice condition. Thats a great price if you can get rego and auction fees thrown in!!!

      People are willing to pay 10k for a nice VR6, they are a relatively desirable car.

        Another way to find out is to ring the rta (or equivalent) and ask em what k's it has done. I know in nsw when they update the rego each year the k's is recorded on the pink slip and then sent to the rta.

          I wish that was around when I was looking for my car. Because I am impatient I bought an Auto VR6 for $8900. I would have killed for a manual in that condition at that price.

            Is it just me or is that thing running extremely high ride height and some gnarly positive camber on the front wheels?

            Almost looks like the engine isn't in there : )

            That white gauge cluster is aftermarket, which would explain the dodgey kilometre reading.

            In the ad it states :Odometer: 67,692 kms. showing on Odometer" - 'showing' being the operative word, and they know it.

              Lol I think it's just you mate! That's how the stock springs sit if they aren't sagged, or if they've been replaced. And it doesn't look like there's any camber there...

                  Haha ok... totally off topic here, but...

                  Could be just a lens that gives everything a bowed look when it's at a wide focal length, but take a look - the top part of the front wheels sort of look like they're poking out more than the bottom part.

                  : )

                  Like this but less exaggerated:

                    Oh my bad I didn't realise you were saying POSITIVE camber. Yeah there is a bit there, but my car had it when I had stock suspension so I'm assuming that's just stock.

                      Nah - totally not stock.
                      The VR6 actually always had slightly lowered springs as factory. (Probably not by the standards of anyone here tho : )

                      Looks like some dodge springs were used, or they aren't seated properly.

                        Hmm that's a bit odd then that looks like normal VR6 height to me, cos it was the same as mine and many others i've seen.
