Vz club sport or ve ss...

[HSV V8]

Right guys and girls after more saving of funds and trying to find the right car for me, I have nailed it down to 2 today..

One is a vz 2006 clubsport in bright yellow done 69k got exhaust and air filter thats it.

Second one is 2007 ve ssv std except for leather interior bright orange and 44k

Both same price, both manual and both full service history.

Now i know i am a pain but which is financially the better deal ie long term investment 3 to 5 years will the clubsport hold its value better or is there no real differance and which would you pick and why?

I really cant decide between the 2 oh and the clubsport is NOT the r8 version .

[HSV V8]

Well took em both out today and the clubsport is the better drive for me...But i preffered the look of the ve and the interior....

I have told the salesman i will be back monday with my final decision on one or the other as i still aint 100% on it...

[.:FunkyMonk:.]

VZ Clubby all the way for me mate. Love the VZ look, and I really don't care for the VE.

[WogBoyz]

Im being biased but id go the ve lol, the vz clubbys do look tough as tho

[HSV V8]

Yeah its a tough one hey as i am also getting finance it will be over 5 years so once i get it i am stuck with it....!!!!

[ssmate]

clubby ftw!!!!

[Retro_Class_VK]

I love HSV's so i'd go HSV anyday but its your money mate, I think u'd get more enjoyment from a clubby and will hold its value bit better as opposed to the SS but as i said your money your decision for next 5 years

[HSV V8]

Yeah i prefer the clubby too also...

But i would really like imput off everyone who has owned one or certainly knows more about either car than me (i know newt about here) being fairly n=knew to oz from the uk doesnt help, to me they are just brand s of holden...!!!


Is there any buyers guide to check some were? so when i go back i can look at things specific??

[HSV V8]

Going down to the dealers within the hr now, to take both cars out and decide which one...

Cant wait!!

Hey mate i owned a VZ clubby up untill last year,

Awesome car, sounded great, ran smooth with heaps of power! Best car ive ever owned by far! Have driven the VE SS and the clubby has got a total different feel to it

VZ Clubby is a frigging awesome car dude! Go the VZ clubby over the VE any day of the week. Looks heaps better and will definately retain its value over a VE SS!

Doooooo it! (If it's silver #111 you bought my old 1! Is in WA somewhere)

[HSV V8]

Dunno number but its bright yellow..!!

Yeah its so hard chooseing hey

What did yours do on average per 100km's i am hoping it will do around 14??

Hey mate couldnt tell you fuel economy as mine wasnt stock. Have you looked on redbook.com.au. Fairly sure they have some fuel stats etc. I'll have a quick look for ya. If ya are slightly worried about fuel economy then i think the VE SS has AFM, at least some do. Don't quote me on that tho..

What price are they going for now?

I had one traded in last year and the friggen pirates gave me 26600.00 for it. Literally saw my car on ebay about 6 weeks later for 36k starting price.

[HSV V8]

Yeah that says around 14 combined just wanted to see what other people get...Tbh not too concerned as you dont buy a v8 for economy lol

Lol didnt think that u would be too worried about fuel when you are in the 6L market!

[HSV V8]

Nah fuel aint much of an issue...!!! tell ya what i am trying to find some were or somthing on buying tips and how many were built?

Been searchin but cant find newt

[STEEV888]

less clubsports than ss' were made as they are a special car and ss is just a standard car.

as i said in ur other post clubsport is better looking much more powerful and will hold its value better even if its not an R8 if you keep it in perfect nic it will be very pricey in the future

[HSV V8]

Just got back from dealers didnt bother with the ve, just took the clubby out bit dissapointed with it...

It kept banging when i changed gears in 30kms it did it about 4 maybe 5 times..
Insides of both rear tyres wear worn out..
Traction control button didnt work (it was off constantly)
Few scratches/marks on car
And the worse thing is they backtracked on the trade in price that they originally said the week before...!!

So gonna wait for the wife to get in and talk about it....

[mr freak]

as i have told you already mate the ve is a better handleing car with a better suspension setup and all your really doing buying a HSV is paying for a flash little badge

[HSV V8]

Lol i know Alan....

That clubby went hard though and it had some nice gaz coilovers on it, just the salemen spoilt the sale he could of had.....

[pjdm1980]

How'd you go?

[HSV V8]

Didnt end up getting either but i have another lined up to view on thursday when i am off work..

Still going down the vz clubbie route though...

[HSV V8]

And i got the vz clubby!!

[mattgreen]

[HSV V8]
