1997 Holden Statesman 3.8 Supercharged from Australia and New Zealand

Summary:

No disappointments, usual Holden performance and comfort

Faults:

The ignition switch is sometimes reluctant to turn.

General Comments:

As it has such low kms, it's in supreme condition...

Very similar to the Calais to drive, but the supercharger gives it a kick when required. Very impressive.

1997 Holden Statesman VS2 3.8litre Supercharged from Australia and New Zealand

Summary:

Brilliant car, top luxury, bargain price!

Faults:

Absolutely nothing has gone wrong with this car in the 4 months since we bought it. We did decide to have the Transmission fully serviced as future insurance & also fitted new Toyo 235, 16" tyres which has markedly improved ride & handling. The leather interior is perfect & it would be hard to find a luxury vehicle in this class for anywhere near the $17.5K we paid for it. The car also came with a 3 year Mechanical Warranty at no extra cost from Andrew Miedecke Port Macquarie.

General Comments:

The car performs & handles perfectly with all the luxury & creature comforts you could ever want.

The Supercharger gives smooth, effortless performance & fuel economy is brilliant on the highway (9.5liters /100km with cruise control set at 110 Km/Hr. Economy in town is not as good - around 14liters /100km, but this is still great for a big luxury car weighing nearly 2 tons).

If you are thinking of buying the 5liter V8 please try the Supercharged V6 first - we weren't disappointed & soon changed our minds about the V8 being the way to go.

Cabin room & comfort are second to none - a champagne car at a "beer" price!!! Go & get one today!!

If you would get another one for sure, why did you say "no" where you state whether you would buy from the same manufacturer?
