- VF S2 SSV Redline ute
My original plan was to get an MY17 SSVR 6sp ute in some like it hot red with the blackout kit and hadn't really looked into it too much, just thought that was what i would do...
But after a holiday on the sunshine coast in august where i called into a dealer just to have a look at the colour in the flesh, the salesman that i spoke to told me that i wouldn't be getting this colour next year. He also told me that manual V6 utes had finished and that they didn't know what the go was with V8 manuals next year either...
So when i got home i went to our local dealer to quiz them about what i was told, and they confirmed that the colour was a no go, but wasn't sure about the manual story i had been told.
Long story short my local dealer tracked down an MY16, and i had to make the decision, to get what i really wanted now or wait and get something next year... i didn't like the colour options for next year, so the deal was done.
Really glad i did now, i haven't seen another one around here, this colour, on the road yet, so I'm really happy about that...people that see it always comment on the colour.
Only thing i would have liked was the optional 20's (the dealer fitted the blackout kit for me) the windows have been tinted, and I've fitted a set of coil overs to get it sitting where i like it.. i love it, its a keeper!
