I just cant shake the compulsion to snap up a Redline or an SV6 wagon before they're gone. They both have next to no km's on them. Worst case scenario though is they'd have the same 14 month old fuel and have not been started in that time. Whats the risks? If I did the deal or even before the test drive, would it be asking too much to drain the fuel and replace it? I guess the handbook service oil change would have been done already. How bad really is one really dry start once in its life? Thoughts appreciated.
it will be fine.
go the v8 if you can they are really nice.
I have had the 3.0 evoke, 3.6 sv6 and the 6.0 ssv and the ssv is very nice to drive even in stock form it handles well and has enough power.
the 6's are ok too but the ssv is much nicer.
you could get the zb too like others have said but you need to think about the terrible track record holden has had with its imported models, its going to take some time before issues begin to show with the zb (if any).
my Colorado is a 2016(my16) and that thing needed a new engine within 3 years of ownership and there are many more just like it with the same problem and now I have seen reports of 2017 models with the same problem when it was supposed to affect 2014 to 2016(my16).
it was great to "test drive" but that was never going to reveal the underlying issues the model had until I had owned it for a while and at the time of purchase the issue was only just being identified so the word was not out about it like it is now.
