HI all members, about the 06 VE SS with G8 options?

[hanson1128]

HI all members,

I'm going to buy a 06 VE SS or VE SS-V and i found one from the net.

The owener told me that his car is VE SS but interior has all extra G8 option but from my view it's an actually VE SS-V.

I have no idea why the owner told me that and i checked his car VIN from the net, and in the report it says (Variant/Serises: SS-V/VE).

But the owner is strongly sure it's VE SS + G8 Extra interior options.....lol

These are the fotos belows:

As these fotos, the V is on the left of the back and the SS is on the right of the car.

Put more close through the interior. i suggest that a VE SS-V......is there any differ between the VE SS + G8 OPTIONS AND VE SS-V?

What you think? or this is an actually VE SS not a SS-V?

Depends on what you wanna get. I'd say if you're after a good interior, the g8 is very nice (biased option, seeing as in I own a G8). SSV's also have a nice interior as well (as I owned one previously) but its pretty much the same thing.

Again, all on you. How much you looking at spending? And the difference between the two cars (SS vs SSV) you are looking at?

It looks like a SSV interior with a hideous colour scheme to me.

Yep, its an SS-V interior, and exterior.
(Projector front lights, Colour LCD screen, alloy pedals, etc, etc)

I dont know what he means by G8 options,
There was a limited edition SS-V with the G8 front bar, G8 bonnet, and the factory (Classy) chrome door handles.
This isn't one of them.

Also if you rocked up and wanted to buy a brand new SS-V with the G8 options, you are going to find one very confused sales rep, as he will not have any idea what you are talking about.
You might want to ask him what does he mean by G8 options.
(G8s in the states have the following that Australian Commodores dont, and will never have),
Heated front seats,
Tire pressure monitoring (In Oz, this is a LWB, HSV feature only),
Remote Start from remote control,
Different Colour LCD fascia and G8 marked cluster.

Hope this helps.

Those are G8 wheels. Other than that, it looks just like an SS-V.

Might want to point out to the seller that the G8 was only sold in the US for MY08 and 09, so it's pretty unlikely a 2006 built car would have anything G8 on it from the factory...

Probably a G8 with the front end changed.

stock ssv, variant would be the dash colour me thinks

Those are G8 wheels.

No they're not. They're after market. The G8 wheels are what you see on the Redline editions atm.

Disgusting if you ask me, thats why I had them changed to the standard SSV wheels when I got mine.
