i'd agree with the other ppl.
fix it up and sell it again... buy a car you actually want!

the VS is a nice car... no doubt about it.
but i think the dated interior lets it down big time.

Good pick up. I has a VS2 Berlina wagon and it was a pretty good car. Only traded it on an AU1 XR6 cos the missus loved the look of the XRs, and the rest is history - I've had Fords ever since. I reckon the VS is the best looking commie in the last 10 years (besides the Monaro).

Yeah, that's the main reason why I sold mine in the end.

Nice pickup though, $2500 is cheap and that one looks pretty nice.
