I was thinking of a purchasing a VF,
As I got offered a Genuine offer of a December 2013 Calais with Walkinshaw upgrade with only 17,000 k/s on the clock from a friend that is selling one for a relative that passed away, and being one owner.
But what I am reading on all the different threads,
I don't think I can be bothered with all the headaches and BS.

Have you driven it? If not, I would recommend it. Sounds like a wicked ride. I love both my V8 VF's. No headaches, no BS. I also really like our Company's SV6's. They're just great cars.

Sorry members, :rolleyes:

I forgot mention, it’s a L77,
So I probably should take it for drive. :confused:

my other question, would it be worth it in the long run, or would I be wasting my money.

Switch car off and lock it and while walking away use the remote start. Car will run with doors locked and cannot be driven off if someone opens the door without the key.


hmmm... not possible with a manual Clubbie :D
