Bf Typhoon Or Ve Ss

[SweetXR]

The time is coming that will require the current BA T to go back to the lease company and a replacement found. I am keen to purchase for a longer term (say 6 or so years) and put a few of the dollars saved upgrading cars every 3 or 4 years into the home loan instead. However, I will not drive a base model vehicle. I am also thinking that if I buy secondhand, a lot of the depreciation from the first year on a new car is avoided. My dilemma is that the new Falcon will be here next year making the current model very outdated on the road while the VE is very fresh. Having driven Falcons for 13 years and never owning a Commodore (and until now not wanting to) I am unsure of what to buy. I know this is a controversial question, but it needs to be asked. There are pros and cons for both the Typhoon and the SS. Any help.

The typhoon especially in 6 speed auto mode will kill any VE SS, especially with a couple of grand spent on it. Just take one for a drive and you will be sold

Test drive both. Read up on the reviews, stats and what have you and make an informed decision. In the end, you're the only one who can choose. I do agree with the statement regarding depreciation however and that in itself will save you plenty of money. You won't be able to do that on the VE platform until they start the runout deals whereas you can do it on the F6 now (unless you're looking for an '06 model of course then the same would apply).

Good hunting.

Typhoon for sure.

Do a hunt for a BFII Phoon demo( don't be too fussy on colours) as this will get you the better price as Expensive Daewoo seem to have held back from deep discounting for the moment to give the VE a chance.

You should be able to screw down plenty of options at a good price leaving some change for mods. You will be then driving something whilst not the latest model out there, but pretty damned special none the less

Worked OK for me, pretty happy so far with with my work taxi

Except for the scraped rear RH wheel ( thanks Vicki )

Good luck

Go the Typhoon I did

Look around for a BFii demo or 06 and you can really crunch a good deal.

I liked the Bogan special , but I really liked the Typhoon. It is something special, and I hope will be worth more than an Bogan special in 4 years when I come to sell it. I paid around the same price as an Bogan special . On top of that in 4 years petrol will be $2.00 a liter and I'll have a hard time selling a 4 liter let alone a 6 liter V8!

When I get sick of just 270 kw I can go to my local tuner pay him a couple of grand and drive away with 350 kw

WHY are you comparing an SS and not a HSV with the Phoon...

What answer do you think your predominantly going to get here and if you were to post the same at ls1.com....

[Blonk]

If you want to keep your licence, your wife, your account at the tyre store and grow old gracefully, get an SS and stay out of our way on the roads.....

I wouldnt even consider a Mk 1 VE, for all its worth it is a very ordinary car

hahaha what a funny guy! You can't be serious; comparing an SS to a Typhoon.

You're among friends here so let us speak frankly. If you are seriously thinking of buying an SS as an alternative to a phoon then you will most certainly be called a d!ckhe@d by most people here. And we all know Holdens were invented to keep d!ckhe@ds out of Fords right? So there's you're answer - go buy the Holden.
