:hit: Well Where do I start...........
Well you all know i have a sv6... well if you dont you do now.
Im looking at upgrading my front and rear lights from the poxy stock ones to the SS/Calais one darker, projection light. I rang three different Holden dealerships here in adelaide and firstly rang the place where i purchased my vehicle from.
I told him my story, that i had an 05 SV6 and was looking at installing the SS style lights into her. He firstly asked me if my Sv6 was a sedan or wagon??????? ( i thought that was gold) Secondly he told me straight up, you will have to change and buy a new front bumper to fit them. NOw i know thats a crock of shite cos a few on here (troy that i know of) has done this swap and no new bumper was required. He then told me that they were HSV lights and they would cost quite a bit. I then said to him, mate I wasnt aware that calais and ss were HSV enhanced vehicles. HE hummed and harred a bit then put me on hold to find prices and consult hopefully someone who actually new what they were talking about.
In the end, all three places offered me substantially different prices, ranging from $900 to $1400 uninstalled( both front and rears)? I understand that different dealerships are owned seperately and can have small variations in costs, but 500 dollars cmon.
Anyone else have similar "encounters" with these morons that provide us with top notch, quality service and information?
