I picked this '94 VR Calais up for $9000 in August 2003 after my '94 EF V8 Fairmont Ghia developed a mechanical problem that was too expensive and hard for me to bother with. The VR came with 131000 k's on the clock which (from what I understand) was a bit under par for its age.

ozorion's 1994 Holden CalaisI haven't done a lot to the car since picking it up yet. Option wise, it came with the full leather interior (pics soon). Also it's been fitted with HSV slotted and drilled discs all round and the wheels are the VQ Series I Caprice wheels. The centre caps were stolen from the previous owner and I replaced them at a cost of $67 each (I haven't taken a photo with the replaced caps yet though.

ozorion's 1994 Holden CalaisThe main fan on the car didn't work when I picked it up, and the ambient temperature sensor was screwed too. I fixed the later myself with a bit of wiring, but the former had to go to Holden for repair after the car overheated badly a couple of times. My ownership of the car is still only young, but in the near future I'm planning a few modifications including an SS bodykit, Kenwood sound system, new Monroe suspension and a sports exhaust system. Once these things have been done I'll start working on some more performance modifications.

Hey - I just bought a VR Calais, white to gray for only $4500... it has heaps of mileage tho! I absolutely love it though! Just one problem..... i've got oil in my water, and when i spoke to a mechanic he said that it might just be oil from the transmission leaking up??? Any ideas?? Cos if its not, i'm up for a new engine!!
