    Default How much do you think? VS Ute $$$$$

    The question is, how much would you expect to see this for sale? Most VS utes in good condition cost between $7,000 - $9,000. What do you think?


    White
    V6 3.8L ecotec
    193,000 kms
    17" rims
    Lowered King Springs + Aftermarket Shocks
    Window tint
    Alpine Type R 6.5" Splits in the door
    Pioneer head unit
    Rubber mat in the tub
    Soft Tourneau Cover

    Actually looks nice with the rims unlike alot of VS utes you see around, as it is hard to find nice looking rims for a VS commodore..

    As many opinions as possible would be great

    Might I add, people still try to sell their VS Utes for that kind of money after they have done 230,000 kms..

    Mate, it"s like houses - location, location, location. Sell it in Sydney/Melbourne and you might get 6 or 7......sell it in Dubbo or Roma and you'll get 10. Also remember there are 2 prices - 1st is what they are asking, and 2nd what they eventually accept.
    However, your location may help.

    I have a 99 VSIII Ute 3.8 auto, stock as, well maintained with 230,000 kays on it.

    For what it's worth, I reckon my ute would be worth somewhere around $6,000 roughly.

    Edit: I assume you're trying to sell?

    4k to 5k for a stock vs ute (no mods under200,000km) add 1.5k to 2k for a v8 and 2.5k tO 3.5k for a hsv.VY utes are as low as 9k now so the lower the vy,s become,the lower the vs v6 will go.........

    it all depends on the person you want to buy it.
    they generally range from around 6 - 10 grand mate.
    with your above mods and condition i would list it for 7,500 - 8,000 and try get your best offer mate.
    there's no harm putting the price a bit higher, just take what you can get.

    you havent said if your ute is a manual or an auto. that would help alot.
    so would pictures, it would definately help us judge.

    it all depends on who you sell it to, and its condition (paint peeling?) and so on.
    if its a 5spd manual it would probably be a little more due to people like P platers wanting it more (well it would if you were in vic =P).

    good luck with selling it btw
    how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like that
