Hey guys.
I have a 2000 Vt series 2 S manual,im thinking about an upgrade to a Vz ute.
My question is,is it worth it?is it really a good idea? and how much do you
think i could sell the Vt for?
First thought is no. VZ is a better vehicle but the extra money spent on you car might be better. I went from a VX exec to a VZ calais so I would have had to spend alot to make the vx nearly as good. Manuals are usually sort after so you should get a reasonable price, no idea on a figure sorry.
That the automobile has practically reached the limit of its development is suggested by the fact that during the past year no improvements of a radical nature have been introduced.

if your looking at an SS then yeah. Really? i would have guessed about half that sale value. Your VT might start having serious problems soon too. Getting a bit old. Yes I backflipped. sue me

I just took at peak at carsguide website, if you want a v6, you can get them as low as $21k, V8 and you pay upwards of $30k. Hope that helps
There are V8's going well below $30k. There's a VZ Clubby at a dealer near me going for $30k. My SS was $23k, SV8's are going below $20k.
I bought my VZ SV6 at the end of July last year, right when the price of cars was still pretty high (just before the fuel went through the roof) then a few months later I was seeing VY and VZ SS's sub $20k in dealerships all over the place and just had to /facepalm. Get the VZ imo IF you are planning on getting an 8 banger, otherwise I'd prolly say hold onto the VX for a while and save the money, they shouldn't drop too much in value over the next few months or so, don't see a new commy on the horizon for a little while.
Me? I'm the guy who does his job ... you must be the other guy ...
bought my crewman for 19,000 from auctions. but the sv6 utes were going for 21,000.
if your going to buy a vz ute, wait for a manual, the auto's are pathetic, 6-speed manual box is really really nice

Andyman,im not even going to bother getting an auto,manual all the way!
I can't even get an SS cause im stuck on the P plate rules so i will be getting a V6
i'll have 25k to buy the car with so i should have a fair amount of cash left over to spend on mods and what not.
Buy a thrash box while you're on your P's, then use the money for something nice when you can drive whatever you want. You'll be happier in the long run.
