chooch Member 256 Member For: 21y 19d Location: Adelaide Posted 04/10/06 12:26 AM Share Posted 04/10/06 12:26 AM The recomended retail of the new standard SS is almost $2000 cheaper than an XR6T and almost $7000 cheaper than XR8.Is this a bad thing?I reckon the BA/BF is still a sexier car.

The Ts being the under dog mean that there's a heap to be bargained with. I played 4 dealers off against each other and used the new SS, fuel issue and upcoming BFII to get nearly $10K off the list price of my BF.Odd thing I've noticed is that I'm still not seeing too many new dunnydores on the road (plenty in the yards). In the past when a new dunnydore has been launched the road was flooded with them that week (I fondly remember seeing 4 broken down VTs on the side of the road in the first week of their launch).

The VE SS replaces the SV8, which was basically an executive with the 5.7, basic body kit and wheels. The SV8 was always priced under the T.
