FOR SALE: Phantom VXSSII 2002 (Enhanced)

[AJR-01]

It is with great regret that I have to part with my much loved VXSSII. This car has been my pride and joy over the past 6 years since I bought it new in 2002. Over this time I have personalised it to what it is today. It's in excellent condition and probably one of the best one of it's kind going around. It's never been in an accident, driven with respect and never been thrashed.

The reason for selling is that I've paid off the Novated Lease on it and can no longer use it to maximise my Salary Packaging. In addition, the Ministry of Finance said 'NO' to having 2 cars.

On the upside, I've chosen to replace the VXSSII by upgrading to a Phantom HSV Clubsport R8 LS3 M6 with leather and the 20" wheels option. :yahoo:

Price: $21,500.00 Very Negotiable (pls no time wasters or tyre kickers)
For those interested, the best way to contact me (Arnold) is to call my mobile on 0417 513 548 or pm me with your contact details and I'll call you back.

Odometer: 140,383 klm, however the motor was replaced by Holden under warranty at around 95,000 klm with a brand new motor so it's barely run in.

As you can see by the specifications below, I've transformed it a fair bit without going overboard. The only thing I had planned for it was to supercharge it (Harrop) until the change in directon.

Shame to see it Go Arnold.. even though the new LS3 is going to replace this, I know how much time and love you have put into this VX.. good luck with the sale and If I had the $$ i'd buy it for my missus! :)

Prob one of the best VX's I have seen.

[AJR-01]

Thanks Curtis, you've nailed it on the head, someone actually said to me that they'd never see this day would happen knowing how passionate and fussy I was about my car.

Believe me, it's one of the hardest decision I've ever had to make. It took me months, calculating, number crunching, talking to finance gurus to see if I can retain the car for business use, even had plans to supercharge it but the new deal that I renegotiated with work would mean it would only be financially advantageous on a new car under a novated lease arrangement. I just hope that BLKVX8 ends up with someone who share the same passion.

Cheers and catch up soon!

What I find hard to believe is two things.

1) That your selling this beautiful machine

2) That your car hasn't yet sold.

If I didnt already have three cars, I'd buy it

[AJR-01]

Sadly, my pride and joy has been "SOLD" and I would like to take this opportunity to say a few parting words.

"One of the best car I've ever had, if not the best, it will be sadly be missed. A truly unique ride, one that reflects me and my personality.
It has given me great pride and enjoyment over the last 6 years since I've owned it...BLKVX8 or Blacky as my son has affectionately named it will be missed".

Thanks to all that enquired.

Stay tune for the worthy replacement.
