Back in June 2021 I was in need of a new daily and was particularly interested in a VF2 SSV Redline.
At the time for an SSV redline you were looking at upwards of 60-70k for 2015-16 models with well over 100,000kms. I ended up with a 2017 Caprice V with 55,000kms, additional features, additional space and paid $45k. I thought that was pretty good value for an LS3 family hack compared with the SS and Calais variants.

A subset of this thread, wondering what smaller car “nuggets” are good buying as a generality - not per specific examples. Good meaning durable in the face of a little neglect, and easily resourced in repair.

There was no service schedule for them, until the last couple of years I was there. Other than servicing, I can’t recall one being in the workshop for any repair. |

I’ve known one or two that had auto failures, but likely utter neglect otherwise. Driven with broken motor mounts, that sort of thing. Almost candidates for “Just Rolled In”.

I think we need to do a revaluation on the best nugget cars, what's the best value for spondoolies in this new ridiculous nugget market we're experiencing.
What's the best nugget under $3000, must link to carsales links. Feels like the days of getting a $750 car with remaining rego are long gone. |

Are we talking little cars? Starlet or Echo might be great nugget buzzbox contenders
Or just something that can take punishment? Saw a couple of AUII Fairmonts 200,000km $3400 on carsales, that kind of thing
