Re: Trawling through Carpoint rehashed now with yellow sportwagon

Damn, that's pretty keen scrutineering, though once you've looked at something enough times, even the profile of a bumper bar becomes easy to audit.

Re: Trawling through Carpoint rehashed now with yellow sportwagon

Now for a laugh...

Are you interested in a 1999 VTII SS Commodore for the small once only payment of $75000 if it looks like this:

if so read on

How about a fully converted 2000 VTII Commodore Executive which now looks like a previous model 3 series convertible? You won't believe your eyes or why nobody has thought of it before. Just $58000! It's not a money burner, it's an investment! Here

The economic downturn has hit this buyer hard. Was asking $100,000 for this prestine VZ Executive with 85K Klms on the clock, now just $16,000 ONO. Insane!

I believe the term is over-capitalisation.

Re: Trawling through Carpoint rehashed now with yellow sportwagon

5.7l 6 speed manual VX Exec. He's asking $12,800 which is sort of steep but it's pretty neat and clearly has FE2. Shame it's in Perth.

In other news, mrs. mak nearly got whiplash when we drove passed a parked SV6 in Poison Ivy. Next time I'll try not to brake so hard.

What the devil is going on here? This SV6 appears to have the 175kw Donk (as identified by the silver manifold, vs. black on the 195 dual VVT).

Here's a "real" one. Note that the Red example also doesn't sport the Alloytec195 badge on the front guard.

Re: Trawling through Carpoint rehashed now with yellow sportwagon

I think the engine cover for Holden's premium v6 was changed in the last model year update which resulted in NVH improvements. I read about in Wheels a few months ago (can't remember which issue sorry) when they tested the SV6 Wagon against the territory.

Re: Trawling through Carpoint rehashed now with yellow sportwagon

Yes, but that is for the VE series. The SV6 in the link is a VZ model. I actually saw another one today. A red SV6 without engine badges. Odd.

Re: Trawling through Carpoint rehashed now with yellow sportwagon

Finally found an SV6 with Challenge wheels. First time I've actually seen them fitted.

Re: Trawling through Carpoint rehashed now with yellow sportwagon

Nothing pisses me off more than people advertising their automatic vehicles as manuals! GRRRRRR!

Re: Trawling through Carpoint rehashed now with yellow sportwagon

Dealers on Carsales always do that. It's so ****ing annoying. You find something you are interested in and ticks all the right boxes and then you look at the interior photo and you find its an auto. GAH!
