Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
Thanks guys found a nice looking silver one. Pick it up soon.
I've seen a very early (2006) VE SS, extremely low K's (30,000) for a tempting price. Looks mint.
Are there any problems with the early ones that were sorted in later builds? Would I be better off going for a later one?
There's plenty of VE-specific things to look for as well. Harmonic balancer wobble, lifter noise, air con belt loose or jumping under revs (fixed on later models), water or moisture in passenger side foot wells (under carpet), knocking from front suspension, and if auto, flaring on 2-3 shift and/or whining in first gear. Neither of those will cause major damage, but can be annoying.
