What deal did you get on a VF?

Thanks Phil, yeah I do like the clean look of the HSP flat lids with its slightly raised lines running towards the cabin.
Im not sure if I feel comfortable having them tap into my electrics and drilling holes to pass emergency cables to the cabin though. Theres too much electronic gizmos these days to go wrong if they stuff it up. Think I might go the manual lock option, which provides locks either side of the lid and thats not a bad thing I would have thought? Not forgetting its about $500 cheaper. Might have to go down and check them out and see how good a fit they are.

 

Yeah, I'm not all that sure about the cable into the cabin idea myself, unless they convince me that it's no big deal , I would prefer to forego it. Maybe I will consider the manual locking one myself

 

Is that for a sedan or ute? Also what month 2013 is it?

I have a friend who is about to go looking, and it is always good to have an appreciation on the market before entering the Lion's Den.

 

So what's the average street drive away price for a SSV Auto sedan so far, June bonus entered into the equation? My dealer was saying just a shade under $54k with tint. Seemed high to me.

 

Recently picked up my April 2014 build SSV Redline, Absolutely love it!
Redhot colour with wing spoiler & black fender vents. Thought of blacking out the front grill but I think is looks better in chrome IMO. Dealer threw in the standard - sports mats, lock nuts, boot liner and a tank of petrol.
Also added the Walkinshaw power pack, love the exhaust note and added torque lower down.
Driveaway price - max holden family discount :beer chug:
Wait time was only 2 weeks!
Already have a couple of small stone chips on the bodywork behind the rear wheels, thinking of putting in mud flaps as live in a regional area.
Only other thing I'm planning to do is a window tint.

Will post pics over the weekend. Absolutely love the red colour / black rims combo.

Planning on keeping this one for 2 years and then will pick up another redline or whatever their final V8 special edition car will be right before production ceases.

 

Should be able to pick up a 2014 SSV Auto Sedan with Tint for around $49,500, plus prestige paint.

There's 100's built sitting in plant stock.

 

That is Redline sedan pricing. SSV should be a fair bit less.

 

Just been reading up on the fitting instructions with pictures, for the hsp central locking lids.
I feel,a lot better about it now, the cable into the cabin looks unobtrusive and neatly done. Wiring is just a matter of crimping onto an existing wire for Central locking signal.
Looked them up on the net and only found good things said about them

 

Hey guys.

About to sign up for a MY14 SSV Redline in Red Hot, with Spoiler, Mats, Tint, black vents, Redline door sills and a tank of fuel for $54,585 - but then I have the Family and Friends discount of $3000 which makes it drive away for $51,585.

I think this is a good deal, what do you guys think?

 

^^^ The $3K off makes it a good deal.

 

Thanks Phil, sounds good, I'll have to reconsider that option now.

 

I spotted a redline ute, phantom black , manual for $ 45,990 on Mantello holden's inventory.
I reckon that might go for maybe $43 if someone were to push them. If in anyone's interested.
I decided against getting a redline , or I would have jumped on that myself

We'll my deal is done, new 2013 vf ssv ute manual in phantom black. $39k drive away.
Pick it up in a couple weeks. On the same day I will be getting a hump back central locking hard top from hsp utelids in moorabbin supplied and fitted for $2,150.
Can't wait! First and probably last v8!

 

Hey Phil, went down to HSP on the weekend to check out their lids, they seem like a decent lid and the only extra holes they put in the ute is just a few small holes to fit the hinges. Put a deposit on a manual locking double hump. Hope it ends up looking sweet! Reckon the HSP double humps look pretty tough. Looking forward to getting it fitted on Saturday.
Cheers

 

Hey this Saturday the 28th? I will be there to get mine fitted too. Booked in for 11 am. The missus and I are heading down to Melbourne on the train Friday night, staying in the city then the dealer is gonna pick us up in the morning to go and take delivery of the ute. Then it's off to HSP, maybe I will meet you there

 

Sounds like a good deal. How much more would a sucker pay at the Holden sale without negotiating and walking out a few times?

 

Looks like I'll will see you Phil, Im booked in for 10am, I'll look out for a shiny black ute.
Sounds like a good plan, bet your counting down the sleeps!

 

Yeah, it's gonna be a great day, love the feel of driving away in that brand new ute. This will probably be the last time.
Last sat when the missus and I went for the test drive in the holden, the salesman was the same one I had spoken to earlier that week. I had cooled off on the idea of buying a new ute because I wasn't happy with my finance option. I went into the local dealer just to look at a ute just like the one I had been planning to buy, except it was 2014 plated.. He wanted $44k for it and that was apparantly the special , non negotiable , this weekend only price.
I immediately went home, found a much better finance option and bought the one in Melbourne for $39.
The sales guy recognised me and asked if I was still interested in a ute, his sales manager was standing right beside him, I said I bought one immediately after I had spoken to him earlier. His manager asked why I bought one in Melbourne , I told them it was 5k cheaper. You should have seen their faces. I would hate to work in their industry!
