- 04 VZ Executive
okay, its not the most impressive VZ, or heck, holden out there. everything in her is stock standard at the moment.
got her for $18,110 drive away from a Ford dealer (yes i know but couldnt find a better deal elsewhere), it had 42,000km on the clock, and all this i got from a loan of the NAB bank.
here the story of the two days, we went into the ford dealer first and looked around, we saw a bunch of VZ's and a couple VY's and a VX, the VZ's were pretty much the same, only difference was colour. the VY's were a bit cheaper with more km's and the VX was alot cheaper with more km's.
the salesman came and talked to me and dad about all the cars, he said to take the VZ (the one i have now) for a test drive. so i took her for a drive down the street and around a roundabout and back. after that he asked what kind of car i was looking for, i said an S Pack, and both dad and the salesman advised against it due to high insurance costs and etc.
we left the yard saying we will have a look at other sale yards to see what else is around. we went to a holden yard next door and they had nothing, too expensive everything was. we visited a couple other yards and the only other thing which caught my eye was a VX Executive but with an SS bodykit and rims, but after a little word to my dad we decided against it.
we went back to the ford dealer, and i couldnt decided between the cheaper but more km's VX or the dearer less km's VZ. i told him id think about it over the weekend and ring him monday morning with my decision.
later that saturday during cricket, i was thinking and thinking and i kept looking at my best mates VX SS and you would think id go back to the yard to get the VX Executive with the SS bodykit to match him looks wise, but no. i decided there and then, VZ, VZ, VZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so monday i rang up at work, ill take that VZ, he said good choice, i got the details and called the bank to confirm the amount, and got the loan set-up.
two weeks later i went back up, my sister-in-law drove me up. we got there and they said my salesman was out at the moment and to come back in halfa. came back in halfa and told my sister to just go. i got there around 12:30. hours ticked away and stress and frustration started flooding, the salesman let me know not too long now, as he had to take it down to the RTA to get the rego swapped and everything sorted. 4:30 comes and i am driving out of the dealership with my new VZ. and the entire time driving it that day i just couldnt let it sink in that this is my car. i went to the insurance company, had a little joke round there with them (about getting a cheesecake in celebration lol) and i came home to show it off.
funny story to some, well its funny to me, at first my gf at the time (now ex) said it was a crap car until she drove it and fell in love with it. but then the next day i dumped her gold-digging cheating a$$!!! so haha she doesnt get my VZ anymore
it gets called a family car, old man car etc by my brothers, but i sense jealously.
so to change it my first mods are going to be rims, spoiler, and then start to work on my in-car entertainment or stereo system.
anyway enough yapping, here she is
