Holden Commodore Used Car Review

The Holden Commodore emerged in 1978 as the successor to the Kingswood, and the large car became Australia's best-selling model for 15 consecutive years (between 1996 and2011).This is a record that may never be beaten. A mix of six and eight-cylinder engines in sedan, wagon as well as ute body styles formed a comprehensive Commodore range.. The fastest andmost powerful models sat under the HSV sub-brand. The Commodore's status as an Australian-built model ended in late 2017, though the nameplate has been carried over to an imported, German-built Opel/Vauxhall model - much like the very first-generation version of the Commodore.

2004 HOLDEN VY COMMODORE SPECIAL EDITION (LOW KMS) I am the second owner of this 25th anniversary commodore. It has been well looked after by the elderly owners before me. I have been servicing it with new Penrite oil and filters every 5000kms since 122,00kms. The engine bay is very clean with no leaks or grime. The car has always been garaged so the paint is in excellent condition apart from a few scuffs around the body as shown in the pictures. The interior is near perfect apart from the dri

2004 Holden Commodore 25th Year Anniversary in great mechanical condition with low kms. Aircon works great, drives smooth, perfect first car. Cosmetically there are a few slight issues, roof lining is sagging, drivers seat has a tear in the material, spoiler has sun damage, slight scratches on the body nothing you wouldn’t expect for a car this age. More than happy to keep the car so don’t low ball, I’ve looked after the car really well.

WHAT TO LOOK OUT FOR: HOLDEN COMMODORE (VF, 2013 ONWARDS)

On V8 versions, start the car from cold and listen for rattles and ticks from the engine. If they're present, you're probably looking at a car with dud lifters.

The V8 can sometimes ooze a little oil from the rear-main seal. Find where the car is normally parked and check the ground for oily spots.

The six-speed automatic gearbox shouldn't clunk into gear or slur its shifts. And look for a dirty big tow-bar that suggests the thing has hauled huge loads at some point.

A lot of fleets bought the base-model Commodore, too, and while they offer cheap motoring, don't buy an ex-fleet car by accident.
