    Default Next holden???

    Hey everyone, I need some ideas regarding the next holden I should get.

    I am thinking on the lines of a vy,vz ss sedan, vy ss wagon or a VE ss wagon.
    Which ever I am going to get I am going to install lpg into. My question is that I prefer wagons for their room. But I actually look into buying a seden if they have heaps of room etc.
    I am aware that the ve holdens with the AFM maybe tricky installing lpg. So I am just wondering what maybe my best bet.
    Thank you all

    Have you considered the Crewmans? Dual cab ute. Lots of room, rear seats will fix your posture (for life).

    Otherwise you might as well go the VE, you will get more money out of it at the end of the day.

    This might be a silly question, but why are you looking at VY SS wagons when you can afford a VE SS wagon? Granted you mentioned models with AFM being a bit of a pain, there are others out there. Just wondering why you'd look at something ~6 years older if you've got the money to buy the currnet model? Will probably help users answer your question better.

    Buy a VE with LPG??? HSV have it available for pretty much their entire range. Holden do with selected engines. The most pertinent question about LPG is how many km do you do a year??

    I easily do 22000+ a year. Do you guys have any links to the VE wagons that come out with LPG.?

    20 - 25,000 makes LPG cost/benefit marginal at best but whatever. Best bet is to check out the Holden site or carsales etc for which LPG examples.

    VZ with a V8 cant go wrong, V6s a bit hit and miss as are early VEs 06/07 but newer generally fine. Try for something that still has some new car warranty.
