Which model to get??

[50DWN]

Hey guys and girls I've just migrated to oz from New Zealand pauses for the kiwi jokes .So that leaves me to get a new ride which i thought i should get a Holden as there killer expensive back home compared to the japs etc.The models i have had my eyes on are vp,vr.vs with a very shocking budget of 2g's am i going to get anything decent?And any advise on which model is better or worse would be mint..

Thanks J

for 2k VN/VP is the go in SA, im not to sure of the prices up at the goldie, GL with your search

PS- BL for getting DOMINATED in the (real) rugby last night

Forget VS for 2k cause if you find 1 that cheap itll be rubbish

Better off going for VN /VP at that price

Thanks guys for your reply's Yeah i like the front end of the VP finding a manual would be a bonus.Yeah just been on the look out for one not much luck on the coast so if anyone here has one that they wanna let go for that sort of price chuck me a pm.Also anyone know what type of kit this is and how much they go for sorry for all the stupid newbie questions

If you want a Buick v6 skip the VR and go VP. IF you want the VR looks skip it and go the VS ecotec.

I reckon they are all great looking cars,but because i have a VR ide have to say go for a VR..

[chuckie]

GO the Vc

[Philthy]

2k isn't much to find a neat VR/S with, so I would be looking at a VN/P

[50DWN]

Yeah i might be able to stretch it to 3g's but im set on VN/VP now had my eye on this

that looks pretty nice actually. just 1 thing around my area vn get stolen in like 12 seconds. so if you get 1 it might be a good idea to get a metal plate under the steering column and around ignition barrel

[5ivespeed]

oh and id definately by that for $2,800

[Johnsy]

GO THE 5L FOR SURE

VP FTW for any number of reasons. Just drive a VN and VP back to back and you will see what I mean.

i would say that a series 2 vn would be an ok option, VP seems a lil better.. But i own a VR and would say look around see what u can find in the vr

good to see more and more NZ's fall for the holdens instead of jap crap

Are we talking solid or irs VP's. I rekcon IRS is great except it seems much more nervious at speed, unless that's just my VP. But anything above 180+ is hair greying in the extreme. Ford drivers say VNs are too nervious I say they dunno what nervious is until they have driven an IRS VP

I think it depends entirely how good/bad your suspension is. Mine is fine at 200. Just ask Stig. Not sure I'd like to be doing that speed in any car with stock flogged out 15+ yo suspension

Hey! mine maybe stock but I've had the local suspension man check it right out and he said everything is perfect nothing to be done ! Mine would be fine at 200 on a flat road without bumps and more than one lane but there's no such thing where I live especailly not a private one inside a farm!

They're all good I reckon.

I'd probs say, VP or VS, because VP is similar to VN, but more developed, and VS is after VR, very similar, but supposedly better.

But at the end of the day, they're all good. As long as you find one that's been reasonably well looked after you'll be right.
