I was thinking of getting a v8 ute late last year, the stupid prices put me off. Was really keen on getting another vy series 2 ss, couldn't find one for under $20k

Ive seen people asking over $20k for VU SS. I've also seen VE SSVs for $20k. There are plenty of dreamers out there but unless they find a sucker, people are not getting $20k or more for old SS utes, like VU - VZ unless they are HSV. Emailing some seller's and they believe that $20k plus for old utes are actually selling at that price. But watch them long enough and you soon realise they aren't.

Did you end up buying another ute Loshy?

 

[losh1971]

Not yet. I will have almost $16k this week saved up but they seem to be about $24k including rego and transfers, for something decent. Finding one locally is hard they mainly come up in Hobart at a fair price. But still see plenty of dreamers who think they are sitting on a gold mine....

You need to own a goldmine to be able to afford to buy one, as well as to keep them going.

Yeah like I saw on Carsales someone selling a 2000 Grange for $32k, even has ripped seats.

I keep telling my son there is a huge difference between what something is actually worth and what people are selling them for. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay. A W1 going for $600k doesn’t mean that’s what it’s worth.

I agree with immortality that yes absolutely the W1 is rare especially being a numbered build but not something that was like $170,000 in 2017 to $600k + only 4 years later

Holy crap, a year ago or so a VF II Calais Director was $90k. WTAF has gone wrong with the world when I see they are now going for $150k

There is an article in today's Waikato Times about the price of cheese. Mainland tasty cheese appears to be the dearest at over $18 per KG. Many others are around the $14-$15 dollar range Mainland cheese a product of NZ is the dearest here at a bit over $13 a KG. Most others are around the $8 mark. Sorry to all our Kiwi friends but you are getting screwed.

Coles often has Mainland at around $10 kg on special. I bet the same applies for our Tasmanian Ashgrove cheese and milk. I bet you Qld'rs get it cheaper than we do.....
