VZ purchase WIN.

LOW_XR · Post by **LOW_XR** » February 16th, 2011, 8:24 pm

ok so this was finally picked up today! after alot of suffing around its gone to altona to see if its dead or not!
ive been told to expect to see it written off. i really hope not but we will see!

any way i got some pics of it on the truck as it might be the last time i ever see it again

BYE!

so if it was to write off, i think any of these cars would be cool-ish

Post by **EFFalcon** » February 16th, 2011, 8:49 pm

lol, i didnt read the description, keep that on the list then

OED666 · Post by **OED666** » February 16th, 2011, 9:00 pm

all are pretty good... Force6 is pretty good for the price though.

and I'll stick up for you with your initial decision to purchase the VE ute. I have an SS-V as a daily, and I like it.

im sure the 13k difference between that and the charged one could be spent doing some "massaging" to the engine side of things

haha maybe, id still take off the scuff plates i think tho. i think people just go walkinshaw crazy.

LOW_XR · Post by **LOW_XR** » February 17th, 2011, 9:35 pm

ok so anyway those who i have on facebook already know but for the rest of you guys, i got the call today. car is a write off! i was very angry and got them to re-inspect the car.
he got back to me saying the could repair it but there was going to be a few issues.

but i called him back up to check a few things and was given a rough idea what my payout figure would be.
i find out the final figure tomoro , but if its what was discussed tonight, i'd be silly not to take the money.

Parfrey · Post by **Parfrey** » February 17th, 2011, 10:25 pm

The new SC 5.0 will feel 'ok' stock because of the computer limiting the torque so much, tune + exhaust = 400rwkw. Sucks the gs is missing all the good bits your maloo has.

Did you ask about buying it back? I like some of the cars you posted, but i rekon a VE calais is too boring.

LOW_XR · Post by **LOW_XR** » February 17th, 2011, 10:33 pm

I call BS on your mate alot of the times flood cars are stat write offs which means you cant re-register them... but you can buy them if i had a dollar for every flood car i saw at auctions id have enough for a W427

Post by **EFFalcon** » February 18th, 2011, 8:14 am

i think he's saying you can't directly buy them back, they still go through the auctions.
