What deal did you get on a VF?

[Davison]

I'd say it's closer to silver/grey or "steel" if you will. Depending on the light/angle etc.
Whatever your opinion, that particular colour was in my top three choices.

Yeah it is steel looking most of the time (gladly). The green comes through very strong when there's no light. Whenever I've taken mine out at night half the people I've spoken to are convinced it's green. Yet in the sunlight it looks almost like alto grey. Very odd colour the way it changes.

That colour is Jungle Fever, which is currently a trial colour. A few VF's and Cruzes have been done in this colour. There's also another trial colour called "Some like it Hot", which is a metallic red hue.

Both of these colours are likely to be introduced next year for MY15.

Love my prussian steel, but yes the green definitely apparent! So if you don't like a green shade, would not recommend. Other choice was the purple, couldn't bring myself to buy a purple car though!

Hey Guys,

Great thread!

I'm looking to upgrade my SV6 to a SSV shortly and had a question about dealer experiences.

Has anyone been told unless you are ready to put a deposit down today we can't organise a test drive?! The bloke today seemed very un-interested in having my business and told me "80 Percent of people just buy them without test driving them" and would only discuss the sticker price before just walking away from me.. Is this normal?

Yep. I just turn around and walk right out. There are plenty who will try it on like that however none ever get my business. There are plenty of Holden dealers around and currently there are 28 listed on carsales (with plenty unsold in yards currently unadvertised. They are selling strongly but are hardly the runaway sellout the dealers would have you believe.

Some of the western Sydney dealers are so bad I only buy sump plug and filters from them. Wouldn't let them touch my cars either. If you don't dress right or turn up in the right vechle they don't even serve you. I buy my cars elsewhere.

Hey guys,

Would 51k drive away for a Redline auto ute be around the mark?

 

[corhijasna]
