Ute prices

[robbyj]

Finishing my probationary license and getting my full license (at a discounted price for never receiving a demerit point has sparked an interest in a new car.

Been looking at Utes and BA's do nothing for me, and can't really afford a BF currently.

What i'm really after is a S3 XR6 manual ute, in white or blueprint, with the full tickford body kit and manual.

Something that has caught my eye, is that there is hardly any price difference between the AU utes and BA utes. Are these AU owners dreaming? Do utes really hold their value THAT well? Have people realised just how good the AU's are and that's why their prices are on par with BA's?

Yet to find an example on car sales or even ebay for what im after, they probably don't pop up for sale that often, perhaps that makes them rare?(expensive)

What are your opinions?
