    If your going to spend that much money, look for a seriies 2 with leather seats and climate control, there are heaps of people out there worried about fuel prices so this is a good thing if you want an V8. shop around and try buying privatley with factory warranty, (that one may have just run out), have it checked out, pay attn to diff, transmiSSion,engine ETC.

    Would look good with a chick driving one, my Mrs loves driving the SS ute, but hates it when im driving!!!

    ok cheers for that, im certinally going to do my homework on it.
    I have always wanted a manual V8 ute. I have never thought about the factory warranty, that was one main reason i didnt want to buy privately cause i though you wouldnt get any warranty with it, but thanks heaps for your help

    you are entiteled to the remainer of the factory warranty, dealers give i think 3 months, not sure if that covers all probs or just driveline, take your time choose your colour and get as many options as you can.
    keep us posted when you make the plunge, be careful not to put it sideways around corners in the wet.

    Also if you can wait until sep/oct this year the new model will come out and the price of something like this will drop around $5000 or so. Also the price of fuel has scared many away from V8's and its a "buyers market" ATM. Good luck with it.

    30,000 for a UTE? Can pick up a VY II sedan for less than that.

    Im with ucwepn, hold out until the VE's are out. Prices will drop like crazy

    Utes retain there value better than sedans over the long run.

    True^^ I forgot about that, and also that the VE ute is still maybe a year away from the sedan. Maybe even 2 years. Well thats what I heard anyway. It is definate that the crewman and adventra VZ will be sold alongside the VE for some time to come.

    Cant see them not bringing the ute out with the sedan, wagon etc
    Utes will never fade in this country!!!
    Think its funny a ute new is cheaper than a sedan and after a few years its worth more than a sedan.

    Personally id buy a VU SS Ute instead as they are around the $20,000 mark.
    Some people say less talk more action, i say more torque less traction.

    Thats it, if you want more money back when selling your car buy a ute
