- 2007 VE Calais 3.6
I'm looking at possibly upgrading from a 2006 Calais 3.6 to a VF II SV6 or Calais 3.6 - my new job is very heavy on driving and I'm considering the upgrade for the sake of reliability. I've had my VE for 2 years and it's now approaching 12 years old (137,000km) - has been mostly reliable but has needed a new throttle body and a few other fairly common failure items replaced. I hear that the early VE 3.6 motors have the tendency to stretch chains and that's something I wouldn't have time to go get fixed.
Would a low mileage VF II prospectively offer more reliable motoring and be worth the trade up in this instance? And are chain issues something that's still seen in the VF?
Cheers
