A good mate of mine stopped in today and owns a VE GTS with the 6.0 ls2 and 6 spd man. 307kw motor. Its bog stock and Its out of warranty. he wanted me to go with him to trade it in.
He was telling me about all the reasons why it was no good. Essentially with just 50000km he is spending more money on it than an old clunker. Harmonic balancer, electrical issues and blinkers working erratically, steering feels loose, water gets in rear lights, clutch feels sticky with any sort of spirited driving. Engine makes strange noises when cold. Changed all sorts of stuff and noises persist. He says all the hsv rims need machining as they are warped in some way and cost a bomb. He is a member of ls1 forums and says many other members concurr with him that the ve is generally a poorly made vehicle. Today with me he traded it and they gave him $37k. He bought a cheaper car but brand new. That means a dealer would want $45k for it. So someone is gonna pay that sort of money and get a pretty rough car. I didn't think the VEs were that bad? |
