Price of a 2004 VY Acclaim

[kk74]

I am looking at buying a 2004 VY Acclaim with one year left on new car warranty and 3 year or 175000 extended warranty. It has 68000km on clock and is being sold by a holden dealer for $ 21,500.
With the new VE coming out do you think prices on used cars will drop i.e. VY and VZ's.
Anyone any idea is this price on the money.......

i think its a lot steep for the ks

That is somewhat dear in my opinion... Have you tried the government auctions? I bought my VYII Acclaim there 13 months ago. 31,000km, mint condition for $21,600.

Sounds a little expensive.

I also picked mine up from ex-goverment auctions. My 2004 VY Series II Executive, 55000kms, mint condition, 12 months rego for $14800 - bout 4-5 grand cheaper than in the yards.

Watch those "extended warranties" - they are usually tied to requiring service @ the dealer. Turns out to be much more expensive in the long run.

Watch those "extended warranties"

Yeah, I also heard that they only extend to the original purchasee of the car. It is void when the vehicle is sold - don't quote me though.

dittio, heard the same thing...

yeah, dude, these days you should be getting 2005 plate VZ for that price...

In 08/2005 - I paid $20k for my 2003 VY Exec, with 75Klms, 18" wheels, power optioned (windows, cruise, a/c, mirrors, seat etc) and extra stuff on police pack, LSD and FE@ suspension...

and infact my mate recently bought a 05 VZ acclaim 40thou on the clock for $21 grand.
they are only going to drop more when the VE is out.

I got mine from a holden dealer and have balance of factory waranty and the holden 3 year 175K km waranty and it has a fixed service of $190 every 6 months or 10K km after factory runs out, but yeah that sounds a bit pricey for the car mentioned,
