keep it.
Less hassles and cheaper in the long run
ie no transfer fees and looking for another car

only thing is i kinda wouldnt mind a manual,
plus to do those mods to mine would probably equal a standard vx ss. so what would i prefer? a standard vx ss manual or
a tricked up auto executive

also which one would i loose more money on do us reckon?

i dont know more opinions would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!1

pretty much the stick in between the 2 front seats,(if i bought another car it would be a manual) and its not worth a $3500-$4000 conversion on mine,when i could by a series 1 vx ss 6 speed with 80000kms for $26000

What's it gunna cost you to get into a VX SS or VYSV8?
Work that out & compare it against spending the same amount on mods such as wheels, lowering, tune, body kit etc for your current VX Ex-Cop buggy, potentially ending up with a car you're happier with.
Why give the gov't more bloody money in transfers/stamp duty that they'll piss away instead of spending it on roads. With only 60k your VX has got a lot of life left in it yet. Even at 20K trade the dealer is still gunna make money at your expense anyway.

IMHO & my 2cents worth ! :D

IMO the dealer has a ready buyer lined up.....given the current price of VY ex chasers.
