What Car would you go for, 2003 VY Acclaim, SV6 ute or Colorado TD 4x4

colorado, yuck.. flip a coin between the ute and acclaim.....

Ok i guess the Colorado is a no than, Just picked it as a 4x4 option and i don't want a Hilux because they are abit more expensive and i Service them all the time at work so i get sick of seeing them lol

anything but the Colorado, they really are a POS
we have a fleet of 7 Colorados at work. Nothing but problems and terrible fuel economy for a diesel.

Does your job really warrant a ute? Reason i ask is i see people with Commodore utes and never have anything in the tray, or just a medium sized toolbox that would fit easily in a sedan...

You can't carry heavy loads in a Commo ute either because of the IRS.

If you want a work ute get a Hilux or Navara.

VY would be good to keep while your doing your apprenticeship.
I'm trade the old GTS in when the new 2012 Colorado comes out-

As for fuel economy you don't buy a 4WD for better economy, and it looks some much better than a SV6.
I had a RA LT crew cab 4X4 3.0Ltr diesel and loved it.

Yea kinda, most of the time my tool boxes will be in the workshop, just when i want to take them home or take them to do some jobs on the weekend i thought a tray would come in handy.

but now I'm leaning towards keeping the Vy and modding it, It would be good for me to work on it and learn more about cars for my trade but it would be alot of work all the stuff i want to do.

yea the crew cabs are nice just expensive for new 4x4
if i hade a 4x4 it would be out of a Colorado, Hilux or a Narvara

but like i said i work on Hilux's all the time at work so get sick of them but dont get me wrong they are a tough 4x4 and get the job done
and a new 4x4 navara is out of my price range

and all the used 4x4 i look at have to many Kms for my liking so havn't really found a good deal on one yet
