cheers matt.
anyone recon i can get a stock VY for this?
Well to be honest VS statesman's go for roughly 4 - 6 on decency. I picked mine which is supercharged for over 7.
I mean, maybe a VY exec or aclaim with a few 100 thous k's on it, could roughly match it, you'd need to find a buyer with the intentions of getting a car like yours, could be hard.
The mrs, was extremely lucky to pick up a S pack VY for roughly 9,500 - 10,000, just the parts are abundant for the VS - VX's and pretty cheap.
But on drivability for a vy much better (interior), comfort is equal, fuel economy is a bit better in a stock eco, yeah may be time for a change only had a VT and a VS.
just brought my paints and primers for mydash and im going to change the clour of my statesman. undecided on the colour
