    Cool Hi All!

    G'day All!

    Names Luke - Recently moved over from London, England to Adelaide

    Back home I had a BMW 325ci Sport Convertible and was always on the forums etc... getting/giving advice etc... i think the forums are the best way to know your car and find out the best places to go etc..

    I'm looking at getting a commodore SV6 (around 2008 model) so wanted to join the forum and get some advice etc and things to look for when buying!

    When i buy it, i want one with reverse sensors, no leather (had that in the bmw and it wouldn't be great in a hot place like this!)etc.. Any advice/help you can give me would be appreciate!!

    Thanks!


    So, Hi!

    hey mate, go through the my rides section and look at the models your interested in (ve-wm threads) and look for ones you like and just read and see what models they are and if they have the things you want, should give you a better idea

    the ssv is a good car and alot quicker then a sv6 and you get alot more stuff in the car itself

    leather isnt that bad here mate.. only if the leather is sitting in the direct sunlight for 8 hours! hurts for a few minutes till the aircon gets going :P

    ssv is a very good choice

    I'd hope not, aslong as he doesn't say that to the missus it's all good.
