Not exactly real world, but I have some recent figures to add. My current VF is my third SV6 Manual. It passed 16K on the trip in question. I...
[ATTACH] Went to the dealer for my 30K service on my VF II. Waiting around, noticed the number plates on the Euro Commodore demos. Thought it...
I moved my VS on many years ago, but did not do anything with a number of parts that I have. Now my old home is about to be bulldozed to make way...
I have the standard Japanese box. Doing about 2,200 rpm at 100 kph in 6th. Since my original post, I have moved through an MY12.5 VE SV6 Z,...
No manuals, therefore I will never buy one unless I lose my left leg.
Now that brings back memories. The approach into Kai Tak was certainly interesting. My preference was always for the pilot in the right seat to...
A local dealer has only a few V6 SV6 on the lot, but 23 listed on their website for sale (new and undriven demos). I would suggest that most...
I have one question. Are the figures quoted calculated or just taken from the trip computer? I have only had one Ford that had a trip computer,...
We have now changed from halogen to LED in three separate properties. We could never go fluorescent as we have a son with epilepsy, and there is...
I wondered about V6 stock levels, so checked one dealer, Heartland at Penrith. Their website lists 24 V6 demos and 12 new ones. The demos are...
I went from an MY09 SV6 Manual in nitrate. The dash was almost unreadable with white on a light gray background. The red dash lighting was also...
However, I note that the 5 years warranty/roadside assist on offer for August does not apply to any of the Commodore range. That would indicate...
The model choice has narrowed slightly with the removal of the SV6 manual from production a year ago. It would also appear that Holden does not...
Here's my interpretation of the possible developments in order of likelihood: 1. The sabre rattling will go on for a while, but settle down...
I would respectfully think that there are a number of other options far more likely to eventuate than either "opinion" offered in the poll.
If all things are in order, I don't think you will have a problem. Because I spent two periods in Europe with my sons for soccer, I parked my...
I joined the classic car crowd last year, and that was driven by nostalgia. My first three cars in turn were all Triumphs, starting with a 1965...
I think that you will find the "sale" extended factory warranties have all been 5 years, 130K. Some dealers offer a so-called extended warranty...
Well, I am totally uninterested in residual value of this, my last Aussie built Commodore. I intend to drive it as long as I can keep it going....
Well, the era of new Holden 6 cylinder manual cars appears to be over. My research shows that the last new SV6 manual available in the country...
For one, I am unhappy that the RWD Commodore (with a manual option on the V6) is no more. But I think that I have done my bit - three new VE's...
I would not be doing it for "value/worth" reasons. I would just like to be able to drive such a car until my time runs out. Two of them should...
Sorry to re-open this thread to those not interested in the V6. Seeking to keep a Commodore, which for me means an SV6 manual, as long as...
My local dealer is part of a bigger organisation that controls most Holden dealers in the area. Their modus operandi seems to be to avoid...
Hi, Went through this issue myself in the last couple of weeks, though mine was compounded by the shortage of SV6 manuals currently available....
I have never owned an auto (been licenced for 50 years this year), and have never felt that driving a manual in traffic (in Melbourne and Sydney)...
I pick up my MY16 SV6 manual tomorrow. Hopefully I will be able to keep it going for many years. This will be my third VF SV6 manual, and I...
And correct. Signed for one today.
I believe that this is going to be an interesting situation. I am currently considering buying one of the last SV6 Manuals with a view to keeping...
While having the 30K service done on my SV6 Manual, a salesman has told me that after the July orders are submitted, there will be no more manuals...
1. Buy a manual. Save $1K on price, save 10% on fuel, sell for $1K more after 5 years. Those figures were 20 years ago, and from my experience...
I spent many years buying cars a few years old based on my finances at the time. But eventually, I also came to the conclusion that if I bought...
I agree with the pro-VF sentiment. I currently have an MY12.5 and MY14 SV6 manual. I mainly drive the VF, and one son drives the VE. However,...
I have had the update successfully applied to a June 2013 and July 2014 build at two different dealers. For an SV6, that about covers the only...
My first VF was Regal Peacock. I was more than happy with the bright British racing green in bright sunlight, less happy with pretty well black...
IMHO, one of the best things with the VF over the VE is not having a rear spoiler (wing) standard on SV6, SS. No aerodynamic value, adds...
I am recently into my second VF. Still totally happy after 32,500 km on the first, and now past 6,000 on the second.
I believe that Series 1 and II clusters are from different manufacturers, and there might be a difficulty with swapping them. Why not go to a...
Only way to never be disappointed that a better model has come out after you have purchased is to never buy in the first place. I am a bit...
For those with space saver spares, Suttons Spares on Ebay are selling SS/SV6 wheels with OEM tyres for $275. They are advertised as used, but have...
