    VF Commodore International. Towbar question.

    Hey peeps, I want to buy a 2013 original Vf commodore international model. I also want to source a secondhand tow bar to fit onto it. Do you think this is an easy find or will the more common sv6 tow bar not fit? It’s just for a bike rack ;)

    Brake replacement frequency on a VE

    Quick question regarding typical brake replacement frequency. Front of my VE Sv6 has 30% left and back about 40%. Average driving between highway and city. Thoughts on what sort of kms would I expect to get out of what’s remaining? More than 10,000kms?

    VF Evoke wagon 2017 110,000 klm for 17 K. Mad or not ?

    I just paid $19000 for a sv6 VE 2013 build wagon with 92000kms. A few scratches here and there and some scrubbing on the wheels. I think that price is reasonable. I also think depreciation will be slow as commodore wagons are becoming more sought after
