Haha yeah mate, I'm just sick of my current vy, I'm about a year away savings wise for the ve so was still considering it. Don't know if it's worth waiting for the ve anyway.

g'day mate,with the 3rd one from duttons I would get it inspected by a independent mechanic as they are very well known for being a bit on the bodgy side,do not trust what they say as the salesman is just telling you what you want to hear,the price is pretty good but the car is missing a few pieces here and there and the rear brakes need to be machined,i would definitely check the history of the vehicle as duttons always seem to have ss's,sv8's around the same km's other than that take her for a good drive up towards the gorge wildlife park and this will test the brakes and handling etc

If it were me the SV8 but that is before I have even personally inspected it, it may drive like crap!

Having read all that.... You're a year away from a VE and how far from getting off your Ps? Maybe wait and get a VESS?

Hell yes, IMHO the VE SS is a far superior car in every way!

Exactly, also with the release of the VF that means the price of the previous models usually drops in value by at least 30% after 12-18 months of new model release.
