struggling to sell VP HSV

[matt_gotigers]

Had my 93 hsv formula up for sale for a while and aint gettin no interest at all. any tips? Its a pretty rare car and in good nic, i think redbook over values it by about $2-$3K is $5000 too much to be asking? What do youz think?

[Cobez]

Got info? Kms on the clock, condition of the interior and exterior etc etc........

[matt_gotigers]

its done 260xxx, neat interior and exterior, i payed 6700 bout 2yrs ago from a dealership but got offered a deal on a vx thru family that i couldnt say no to.

Post some pics up man, is it a 6 or a 5ltr?
And i didnt think the formula's were a HSV, just a holden?

no, if you're selling to an open market its a decent starting price - be prepared to haggle though

[adamc11]

If your not getting any interest, drop the price a little and say your price is negotiable.
Edit: Also, 260,XXXkms is a fair bit, most people are hesitant on buying cars with high kms as they are more prone to problems and don't have much life left in them. I'd drop the price.

Its deffinatly a real HSV.

not even 100 made (Can't remember the number tho).


A guy on street commodores has a Red one, that he's put an LS1 into.

They look the same as the VP SV6s, except they are 2 tone, not single colour.



My personal opinion, at the end of the day, its still a V6 Commodore. Since most people don't know what they are, they wouldn't look twice at it.
I doubt i'd even buy one if i was offered one cheap.

It's a V6? I though HSV have only ever done v8's?

And theres more VPs, and more inbetween VP/X. Pretty sure thats all the VNs tho.

Yes yes rub it in

[STEALTHY™]

i can quote you in my sig if you like.....

[GMMAD]

you wont get any where near 5k for it
i had a SV125 a few years back and couldnt get that kind of $$ for it

[savage1987]

wow so many I have never heard of, and I thought I was doing well at learning about HSV's different models!!

[Wombat]

Age is the trouble, age and kilowatts...

It's a little odd to sit behind an old SS V8 Commodore with a proud "185i" badge on it...and realise that your new V6 family plugger is putting out the same or usually more than what was supposed to be a premium performance car...

Why spring for ludicrous V8 rego and high running costs (of an older far less fuel efficient V8 I mean) if you are simply after a car, instead of if you were a true collector?

[minux]

Stealthy, dont forget the early limited run of the HSV astras!!

Ive seen quality SV89's go for 7k, no way in heck a Formula would go for 5.

Sure didn't

rofl, didnt read that. my bad

[weedo_86]

gees do these HSV VXR astra's get up and boggy too, a guy at works got one

[savage1987]

lol is he gay?

[Cobez]

So if someone drives a 4 banger or something that's not a V6 or a V8 they are gay? I tell you, there are plenty of 4 bangers out there that would blow your VN V6 and BT1 away. Just because someone doesn't drive a Commodore or Falcon 6 or 8, doesn't mean they are gay. Even for a joke, it's lame One day when i am over the modifying cars scene there is a real chance i'll buy a 4 banger because they are cheap on fuel to get me from A to B.

[Wagon_Wheel]

Cobys only saying that cause really he is GAY
But yeah those VXR's are QUICK!!! i couldnt even nearly keep up with one once.
Theres one around my town with the plates HSVXR

lol, Im not over the modifying car scene and im in love with the Evo X. Unless Holden or Ford bring out something special in the next 12 months, could go that way. After taking a drive of a tuned Evo 9 i can say...woah I am impressed.
