1991 Holden Commodore VN Wagon - White - 173,084km - 3.8L V6 Automatic
Overview
This 1991 Holden Commodore VN Wagon represents a significant chapter in Australian automotive history. The VN generation (1988-1991) was the final iteration of the locally-engineered Commodore before the VR redesign, and the wagon variant remains a practical and characterful piece of Holden heritage. With its 3.8-litre naturally aspirated V6 and four-speed automatic transmission, this is honest, unpretentious family transport from an era when Australian cars were built to handle the country's roads and climate. The VN Wagon was never flashy, but it was dependable, spacious, and genuinely useful—qualities that have made survivors increasingly sought after by enthusiasts and practical buyers alike.
This particular example presents in original white with a straightforward, unmodified specification. The exterior shows its age and kilometres honestly. The paint holds reasonable gloss across the visible panels, though minor clear coat failure is evident on the bonnet leading edge, consistent with age and UV exposure. The lower door trim and rear quarter panel edges display minor surface rust, a common issue on vehicles of this vintage and exposure. The rear window area shows rust around the frame, and the rubber trim throughout the vehicle shows weathering appropriate to a 33-year-old wagon that has earned its kilometres. A small dent is present on the rear tailgate. These are honest condition markers for a vehicle of this age and mileage, not structural concerns, and the overall presentation suggests a car that has been used and maintained rather than neglected.
Mechanically, the 3.8L V6 engine bay presents cleanly with no visible modifications or forced induction components. The four-speed automatic transmission is the original specification for this model. The odometer reads 173,084 kilometres, a genuine and reasonable figure for a vehicle of this age. An owner's manual is present, a valuable reference document for future custodians. This is a straightforward, unrestored example of a working-class Australian icon—the kind of car that defined a generation of family motoring.
