Commodore worth

We brought a brand new VT II Commodore SS back in 1999, it was the first of the 5.7-litre Chev motors, and I am wondering how much it would be worth at the moment. It has only traveled 36,000 km and is in showroom condition. It still has original tyres and the new car smell. The car has been garaged all its life and I believe it is probably one of a kind with its immaculate condition and low kays. It has never had the piston slap like some of the motors of that era. What do you think?

The price range quoted by the trade is $6500-$8500, but that assumes normal use and many more kays than your car has done. Yours should be worth more than that, but it’s hard to say how much. In my view the VT II is not yet a valued classic, more an old used car, so there’s not yet the demand for it from the classic car market. But anyone wanting to get in on the ground floor and buy a classic to put aside until the market comes around would be well to pay a little over the odds now. Yours could be worth up to $12,000 to the right person.
