I sort of stopped... there werent any for sale at all for a while. And now it seems to have lost touch with reality so it seems like keeping stats on lunacy.... i mean....49k for a VT SS..... really?

How did you get unlucky enough to get noise tested?

I had to stop graphing as there was nothing for sale on carsales for months. Now i see a 5l for 25k...... tell him he's dreamin

A V8 commodore is such a beautiful thing. You all ought to be paid to keep them and drive them around for the enjoyment, cultural and historic edification of the general public. I've seen councils waste a lot of money on other non functional metal things around Newcastle ..... supposed to be...

Great review

Ha. You are a brave man. Also a right brave man. The poor old vf.

My v8 commodore is both the best AND the dumbest investment i ever made!

Thanks

I apologise for this comment. Not nice of me. Hope you can forgive me.

Excellent good work. Personal experience is the best benchmark. I am sorry to the site for getting the shits. I apologise for making snarky comments. We are all commodore lovers. Why don't we somehow collect a timeline of what we paid for various models at various times. Then we will know what...

What makes you think that i ever disagreed with what you are saying? Everything you have said is completely reasonable and true.

Why don't you tell this to the author of the article? Nobody has any idea whether i agree with the article or not. But there are a lot of assumptions being made which i find difficult to swallow. Like a bot wrote the article. Now it seems that i wrote article. That because i posted the link...

I have been tracking the market for the past 6 years. There is certainly a steady growth in list prices. I dont know what other metric is easily measured. Suffice it to say that v8 commodores and falcons are increasing in value which is not what the majority of cars do. Is it more than the...

If this was a game of 20 questions that would be the dumbest question to ask

Price changes. Doesnt say asking price or sold price.

You lot are funny. Nowhere in the "awful article" are any claims made about sold prices.

Sorry all having thumb dysfunction. I have been trying to say it would be a good idea to get stock parts now as i suspect they will get a bit harder to find and pricier as people start getting all nostalgic

I'm not trying to pick an argument with you just pointing out that if.nostalgia and history dont mean.anything to you with regard to a car then you won't understand why this whole Holden commodore stuff means so much to most of the people who grew up here. Hence my feeling of being kicked when...

Go on. Kick us while we're down.

I'll go home then.... to a stock (other than extractors 2.5 twin straight true dual and hi flo cats.... even has original cassette player and wind up windows) manual 5l VT SS in heron white that I love more every day Not too fast.......which means you get to enjoy the sound for longer as the...

Sorry i should have said it was a trendline. Graph below.... above.... somewhere. Probably heavily influenced by speculative increase in last 12 months. We will see in a other 4 years!

Agreed

Equation is a trendline

Dec 2015 to dec 2019 Vt ss 5.0 red El xr8 blue

Asking prices on car sales

There has been a lot of talk about whether SS Commies are going to rise in value. Time to share some info which may help answer the question and probably also have huge holes in logic which will be exposed. For what its worth have a read if its interesting to you. Apologies for the length We...

We have a tiguan and a vt ss. The tiguan panicks and shrieks electronic warnings and is almost dangerously gutless as the turbo wont kick in until the revs are up. Not very useful trying to get across an intersection. The vt thankfully just does as it's told I am relieved i will not have to see...

At last. The torture is over. The commodore can rest in peace.

Scrap the supercars and race the old bangers for 1000k.

Sorry. Just realized this was a VE post.

I had a twin 2.5 with hi flow cats put on my 5.0 vt - redback. It already had pacemaker extractors. Came with an x pipe. Wasnt happy, sounded too raspy and lost the deep throb it used to have with the rusted out single 3". So I asked them to cut the x pipe out a couple of weeks later and weld...

I saw a VF Maloo burbling meatily by this morning. Pretty soon that will be the sound of $$$. Camaro. Mustang. AMG, Audi etc. Expensive or completely impractical. The days of an ordinary bloke owning a V8 are ending. That's what the SS was. So I think you ought to grab that VS. I dont know if it...
