People pay what THEY think something is worth. If they want it badly enough, they'll pay.

Who gives a toss if somebody else doesn't think it's worth what the seller is asking. What's it got to do with them? They don't wanna pay, jog on.

VE Series I SS Ute
Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones......

Of course you won't see this comment, but hope someone else points out, if you had read losh's comment and the entire article you wouldn't be making such smart ass comments
You might be surprised what Stalker 5.0 reads but doesn't reply too. Had I said this he would have almost certainly replied. He seems to have a liking to to me as he will often **** post when I say something. I think he has a man crush on me.

It’s been that way ever since that guy in Tasmania bought one. He has bought up the whole country’s supply of spares and pushed the value up on them.

1983 vh v8 sle 2000 vs v8 ute 2012 ve11 redline
After reading this article I had a look at the prices of VE v8's on carsales. Agree some people are asking silly money. What surprised me more was that people were asking the same sort of money for a series 1 as they were for a Redline.

My understanding of this article is that the AUD $58,000 price is referring to the price of this particular ute is selling for in the UK, and the AUD $30,000 price is referring to our local market, which is a little optimistic in my opinion...

Yes, $30K in the Aussie market is overboard.....

The original comment was and I quote

Either that report is really old or he is out of touch with Australian prices

Strangely enough only part of that response was read by some....You have read it all and commented accordingly :)

But are these cars selling for over $35k?
