Another rate rise almost guaranteed today. Plenty of people holding the hot potato trying to panic sell with the "ItS An INveSTmeNt tHaT'Ll oNLy gO UP" mentality, or as I like to call "breathing the exhaust". Prices will start coming down soon enough (Not plummet, but correct).
I like to look around as I want to get one one day, but I know it won't be 40K better than my S2 SV6 in the real world. And they absolutely are not selling like crazy anymore. Heck some clown was asking $30K for a VE SSV with almost 300000km in Adelaide, but it was the IMO super cool Kapow! colour.
Read an article just today about a Spitfire Motorsport for sale with 300km on the clock for about $150k. Righto champ....
$40k for a $55k-new car is pretty ridiculous resale for an 8yo car!
Id have knocked off a chunk for the poorly fitted/colour matched aftermarket (Doesn't look like genuine HSV) side skirts, aftermarket exhaust and the steering wheel that looks as if it was so badly death grip'd there's no leather left
But this is my favourite:
"Believed to be tuned, no paperwork"
