Cmon who wants to sell me a clean ute!?

[DevilDRake]

Just to let you know, there's a few VU/VY utes going for around $8000-$9000 on carsales under holden - Utes. And on ebay. Auto's though ofcourse.

[JAKE-26]

Yeah cheers mate i check there like every day none really are to good or are too far from home.
Found a vs at carcity but its 10k! what a joke. may go and check it out and offer alot lower price

mate im lookin for a VS ute and the 10k figure is wat ur going to pay for a good one (5lt of corse)

Jake, VS V6 manual ute's still go for anywhere in between $7 - $11k these days. Ute's hold their value well, particularly manual ones, and particularly those in good nick.

Not often being sold either, I haven't come across one worth a second look for a while. Also a tip, don't limit yourself to such a small radius around Croydon. Limit yourself within reason to within the state.

I bought mine from Bendigo, caught the V/Line train and picked it up (luckily the guy was visiting a relative in Ringwood so he bypassed my place on the way down for me to look at it and test drive it)

median price is around $7k....and I don't think you'll get one with under 200 on the clock for under that.

[JAKE-26]

Jecs- Bit luckier for me having to get a v6 so thats a little but less cost 5L would be mean though

Hamish- yeah i dont care if i get a manual or an auto these days, i just want a ute! and to both of you i know its crazy that 10-15 year old commodores can still cost that much but believe me i've checked some out for 7-8k that have been shit.

I just cant really get too far either as im only 17. Have done some hour+ trips with dad but he's not too keen and doesn't really want me to get a ute anyway. I'm always on the lookout on the net, i just thought I'd see if anyone on here was thinking to sell as there's heaps on here.

[DevilDRake]

Ah that's why you can't get it. Well I'll tell you now, it's going to be too hard to get your local. All my cars have been 2 hours + away. Just seems to be the way it is.

I wouldn't pay anymore than $6000 for a VS ute though, I see a fair few for $6000 in decent condition but as you say it's not local.

[JAKE-26]

Thought i'd see again if anyones lookin to sell.
cheers

I know the feeling mate. It's so bloody hard trying to find a nice ute these days, and when you do find a good one it's either too far away, too pricey, or gets sold before you get a chance to inspect it. FARRKKK. :S

[JAKE-26]

Have seen 2 online recently that both looked like they would have been good genuine cars. Both cars of course got sold the day i rang about them. All the cars that are good possibilities for me are either write off's of get sold right when i want a look. so so shit mate. cheers for the bump
