2002 Holden Commodore VY SS - Lime Green - 302,806km - 5.7L V8, 6-Speed Manual
Overview
This is a genuine VY Commodore SS, representing one of the most iconic Australian performance sedans of the early 2000s. Powered by Holden's legendary 5.7-litre LS1 V8 and paired with the highly desirable six-speed manual transmission, the VY SS delivered authentic rear-wheel-drive muscle and established itself as a benchmark for Australian performance. With 302,806 kilometres recorded, this example reflects years of use but retains the mechanical character and unmistakable appeal that continue to make V8 Commodores highly sought after by enthusiasts.
Introduced in 2002, the VY series brought a more refined platform and updated styling while retaining the raw performance credentials that made the SS badge famous. Producing 235kW from the naturally aspirated LS1 V8, the VY SS offered genuine performance and remains one of the last great Australian-built V8 sports sedans. Finished in striking lime green, this example makes a bold statement and stands apart from more conventional colour combinations.
At current market values, VY SS manual examples continue to attract strong enthusiast interest. Comparable vehicles have traded in the $8,000 to $12,000 range depending on mileage, originality and overall condition, making this an affordable entry into genuine Australian V8 ownership.
Condition
The lime green paint presents with strong visual impact but shows its age and history. Multiple scratches and scuffs are visible throughout the body, with clear coat deterioration evident on the bonnet leading edge and boot lid, consistent with long-term use and exposure. Minor dents are present on the driver's door and rear quarter panel, though overall body alignment remains straight.
The factory alloy wheels exhibit kerb rash on all four corners but remain structurally sound. Tyres are fitted and appear serviceable based on available imagery.
Inside, the black leather interior displays wear consistent with the odometer reading. The driver's seat bolster shows scuffing and patina, while the steering wheel and door trims exhibit signs of regular use. Headlining sagging is present in several locations, a common issue on VY Commodores. The instrument cluster remains intact and displays 302,806 kilometres. The six-speed manual shifter, climate controls and switchgear are present, though the condition of the infotainment system cannot be fully assessed from photographs alone.
Under the bonnet, the 5.7-litre LS1 V8 presents in standard configuration. The engine bay appears clean and mechanically complete with no obvious signs of fluid leaks or corrosion visible. Factory SS badging confirms the genuine specification.
