I have the same ute but in black

My SSV was good but they arent worth a pinch of shit on the resale market. Lucky I didn't pay full tilt for mine or I would have been more pissed.

...

you obviously were not persuasive enough ..as the SSV's that I know of that have been traded have been worth a mint of cash !

After nearly 5 years with my first one a Series 1 ...and 70k+ on the speedo, I got 32 ½ as a trade (and as it only cost me $47 to start with..thats cheap motoring )
as well, it needed 2 rear tyres and was out of rego .

Trade is different to selling, they just adjust the new car price.

Sold it privately as I was going to buy another Holden due to that. Also compared to euro cars you can tell the cheapness in the holdens straight away.

Not saying they aren't good but there is a difference.

haggle
my trade in price went up and the price of the new one went down (HEAPS) ...before I signed

As far as 4x4's go... well... I must be in touch with my feminine side. Heh!
The HRV is a great little car light on fuel, and surprisingly capable off-road.


On the back is my other car - busy preparing the CRX as a road registered track toy


2lt (CRV) block, VTec head, forged internals, Quaife LSD, custom dry sump set-up, KW suspension, Wilwood brakes, blah blah blah...

If anybody is interested I can post the whole build thread with pics...

Wifey has a CRV - about due to be replaced

I have a Merc diesel van. Got it for BMX & trackday duties. It's front wheel drive so has a low floor and room for two road bikes.

One day will complete the restoration on the 1973 Kombi, got big plans for the old girl.

Current family car is a VW Passat Wagon TDI, pulls like a train even with a full load in the trailer so makes the perfect wagon for taking the bike to the track and family time. Best thing is it returns around 6l per 100klms. Wife has my old Golf GTI, they are great bang for buck. Seems I have become a VW fan. The GTI has over 100k on the clock and runs like new. The passat has nearly 60k on the clock and can't fault it.

New car due next year, likely to be the Gold R. Want the new GTP Falcon but after having an XR8, XR6 and XR turbo not sure they will hold together

Wife had 2 subees previously but for value for money the german import is hard to beat, especially the turbo diesels, plus I hated the seats in the subees.

Geez Smitty , you should get out more ! I will do that in less than 18 months


Have just updated the Vito van to another one . New one is getting better fuel economy and rides better .

I wasnt going to post here but Gav invoked the caveman feelings deep within with that photo of his big Mack.
I dont even know of half of the vehicles mentioned without a google search, all sounds a bit fancy to me

Funky still wins

Lancruiser VDJ79 series D4D V8 turbo ute. this looks similar to mine but if you look carefully it doesnt have a dog on the back or a few fresh roo's hung up so you could be mistaken for thinking thats not my yoot..

It is kinda like a truck or as Aardvark calls it "the supa-yoot" coz it sounds like a V8 supercar but with a deeper mans voice, It has really good fuel consumption as a tax deduction

Actually fuel figures are about 11L/100kms around town, 12.3L/100km hwy and 15l/100 towing a tandem race trailer and 3 dirtbikes on the tray ($1.20+) across the NSW outback visiting our east coast cousins, not to bad considering it is a chipped/piped V8 diesel producing about 215kw and 700Nm of torque, it doesn't mind a few tricky off-road tracks and has enough range in the 2 x tanks to take you past the black stump until you cant even hear the banjo's anymore.




Anyway they are not cheap, but i think thats a reasonable price to pay to keep my manhood intact
