Vn Or Vy !!!

[Insane_Metal_Man_666]

Hey Ladies and Gentlemen....

I am currently saving money for a car and i have about $11,000 in my bank account and i cant make a decision on what i should get i am wanting to know what you guy and gals think. I am tossing up between either a $16,000 VY which is alot newer or a VN Calais Series 1 which wouldn't cost much at all.

So I am wondering what you guys would think of getting as this is my first purchase as well.

well toss it up you can have a car thats 18 years old or one thats 5 prolly a $10g difference but if you do get the calais with the money you save you will prolly have to spend it to get it right the VN's are prone to problems due to age dont get me wrong the are good cars but im just tellin you from experience with a mates VN he has had constant problems since he has had it

Ive got a vn and havnt had a single problem in more then 2 years and i flog it a fair bit. But if i had the money i would still get the VY just because its newer. Most VNs are run down at the moment. But on the other hand, you could buy the VN and with the left over money you could make a pretty sweet VN. It would be one of a kind, unlike if you get a stock VY it will just be like the rest.

i'd go the vy, im guessing its your first car so you have to have a 6 anyway and the vy exec's are quite comfy inside

I'd say the VY even though it may be a bit extra.
with the VN you would probably spend the extra money on repairs, etc.
not as many problems with the VY and they look nicer

Easy choice,...... the VY.

dont think...... just buy a ute!!

[minux]

lol you actually have to ask what to buy?

[NORTI]

VNs1 vs VY, thats the strangest jump I have ever seen?

usually more of a VN/VP or VR/VS or VT/VX/VY choice, sort of question IMO lol

[1991_Vn2nV]

My advice is look at other models.

Dont buy spend all that money and buy an exec. Buy something thats going to make you happy. My biggest regret is not buying a VN SS instead of a V6 VN Berlina. My second biggest regret is then buying a VS Exec as a daily instead of a VS Calais.

I would go with the VN for a frist car, he can flog it round n get to know tha car how they handle yadda yadda, where as if u got a VY u would want to play very easy as that woul be alot of doh lost if u smashed it.

I would go with a older car as a first car, use that for a few yrs get ya driving skillls together and wat not then go out n buy the new car.

No point buyin a expensive car as a first then crashing it as u didnt know how to handle the situation correctly.

If u smashed the VY thats 15g or so gone.
if u smashed the VN that wat 3g max

Thats how i would go about it if it were my choice, i would rather a cheap car that could get smashed than loose 15g on a newer modle.

My mate just grabbed an ex undercover cop car, VZ exec with 4 power windows, side airbags, very clean and tidy, paid i think 16k at the auctions for it. He did well to get it, i wouldnt consider the VN when your looking at something so new. If your looking older, find yourself a nice yank tank or something to cruise in
