- VX SS (Original owner).
I bought my VX SS brand new, it still only has 70,000km on it and is like brand new, I am not as bad as you but I still get ribbed by others with comments is that a speck of dust I can see.
Mine is garaged most of the time as I have a VC Commodore as a run around, but it does get used for trips etc and I don't worry about a bit of dirt I just clean it up and pop it back in the garage. As much as I love the SS and it really is a beautiful car to drive at the end of the day they are only a Commodore and will never be collectable or worth a great deal, but I must admit it is nice when you get a compliment on how well kept it is. Example was my daughter bought a used Subaru from a Holden dealer and I took her over to pick it up in the SS, I was amazed at the attention the sales guys gave it when we were there, they popped the bonnet sat in it and made all sorts of nice compliments about it, probably trying to get me to buy a new VE SS if the truth be known. But it is nice to see a well kept car. I wash mine maybe once every two weeks but it does not get much use in that time and give it a good detail and wax every three months.
