My opinion would be to go for the VT, VS's are fast losing their value, and a VT in good nick will be a better trade in, if you decide to do so at a later date.
Also it's getting a lot harder to find spare parts for VS's, especially new(I know from experience..lol).
A VT would 'hopefully' have lower K's than a VS too, so less wear & tear, so maybe saving a few repair $$$, which could of been spent on better things.
Just some things to think about. :)

Yeah BoNez coz the vt has been our family car and my grampas before that it has obviously full service history and has been in perfect condition, bout 183000 k's. it would also be cheaper than a vs ute. although i have to disagree that the vs utes are worth less. ive found they hold their value far more than vt's, but il likely only spend 4000 max so it doesnt bother me too much.

And Wogboyz ive spoken to you about the vs utes. id really like one, yours is sick! but i think getting this cheap vt for a couple of years, then buying a better ute will be the go!

Yeah true, a ute will hold more value than a base model sedan, I guess it also depends on what you want to use it for?
Just transport, work, or whatever.
Only reason I say it's hard to get new VS parts is because of where I live, little town in the middle of nowhere, and no decent outlets.. lol

Yeah well will be probably dropping year 12 and seeking an apprenticeship in carpentry, kinda the reason i was thinking of a ute. i also love them :D
but i think the vt option will be the smart choice, though its not manual :(
