ok got 2 options and want some input on what people think i should do just finished paying off the vy now ready to.......
A. buy a ve calias or sv6 brand new from holdens my brother been working there for 10 years so i get 30% of the price of the car that will mean probably a 20k loan once i sell the vy and ill have a brand new car OR...
B. i get a 10 grand loan drop it into the vy the motor still going strong only done 175k km so probably just get the heads taken off ported polished and shaved the gearbox also needs a fresh up and then all the bushes shockes etc i could get it all done for under 10 grand
BUT thats where im torn do i buy a ve ive driven a few and its not as exciting to drive as the vy's more like im driving mummies car lol the only option my vy is missing is climite and its only a 6 there we go i would love peoples input
Compulsive.
plop a mildly worked LS1 in the VY, You'll do that for around 10 grand. It will be much more fun than the VE's.
There is no such thing as stupid questions, Only stupid people.

I would enjoy driving an unencumbered car around for a while and piss some money up the wall.....
that was actually what i was thinking just drive it till it break but then im playing with fate as to how much life the vy has left in it its a perfect car never let me down YET but there is that YET bit that worries me lolOriginally Posted by Not_An_Abba_Fan

if your worried about it braking.... why is one of your options keeping it?
youd be far better off with a brand new car... but having the debt over your head isnt fun. enjoy life while your debt free.
WTB - VY Drivers door, preferably silver - PM ME!
yeah i am enjoying the debt free life (well car debt free still got the house lo) its not really the fact im worried about it breaking its just where it breaks i do alot of trips up threw the adelaide hills to see the inlaws

well if its serviced regally and looked after and you have only has 175,000km on the odometer then maybe just get a retune (like changing sparkplugs, leads, airfilter, throttlebody clean, etc)
Why would u consider getting a 20g loan to buy something that wont be yours. Cars depreciate, loans appreciate.

yeah i change the oil oilfilter aircleaner every 5000km and did plugs leads about 15000 ago due to do them all again soon its by no means tired probably more me being bored of owning the same car for 2 years lol
wont depreciate that much really when you consider i can buy it for 30% cheaper than any normal person can probably could keep it for a year and not lose money on it or if i did very little

Yea but you still have the problem of the loan appreciating. No car is worth taking out a loan for. In theory your paying more for the car than it's really worth. For a typical $20,000 loan for a car you will be paying an extra $5000 - $8000 interest for a 5 year term on a car that is depreciating. Just doesn't make any sense to me!

yep we payed 17k for the vy by the time we paid it off cost us almost 20k but that was only after 2.5 years and be lucky to be worth 11 grand now so i know where your comming from
