Default Re: FPV v HSV: stripped bare (GTF vs GTS performance) EVO MAGAZINE

Both are great cars i reckon. The better car is in my opinion the GTS however the one with better resale long term would no doubt be the GTF. You can still buy a GTF if you really want one. You will pay more than 100k for one which then puts it bang on at GTS money. The GTS is a better package but the GTF is more exclusive. Tough Call.

yeah of maybe you could respect the op /sensationfg8....... As he's actually done what your suggesting......reported us his findings.
It's people like you who ruin threads. Comments are made.....facts are provided.....yet your opinion is still more valuable.

People are allowed to question 'facts'. Especially if someone says that no GTS can be found for under $103k when carsales gives you pages cheaper than that. There are PLENTY around the $95k mark, all showroom stock with 0-10km on the ODO.

Yes, in Sensation's experience he wasn't able to get a cheaper price but that wouldn't be the same for everyone. BLOHSV posted that he was quoted $87k for the GTF and $95,700 for the GTS, that's $8,000 difference and also a fact.

Got to admit he had me a bit confused on how serious a buyer he was...

Sounds like a serious buyer.

The 'serious buyer' doesn't like the car he was seriously looking to buy?? Sounds to me like the salesmen may have qualified him as a not so serious buyer???

You must have missed that BLOHSV also did some shopping around and reported us his findings too:

Comments were made - BLOHSV provided facts too - you seem to have missed them though, but no one is suggesting you missed them because they differ to your valuable opinion.

But you keep on your crusade to bring into line those fanbois that are totally blinkered by their brand and cannot understand or accept that others may have an alternate opinion - you got to hate those types, yeah?

So because I don't wanna go troll people that doesn't make me a serious buyer?

Well done...

Had I bought a gts I'd be happily discussing it over at ls1. A little respect goes a long way.
