Did anyone see the ad in the cars guide section of todays Daily Telegraph (part of a full page ad for suttons maybe or another dealer) of a black VY GTS advertised for $55,000?

Is that the going rate for a 300kW Flagship HSV now days?

Did anyone ring and find out more, or know if anything is wrong with it or something??

There was no disclaimer anywhere on the page that said "photos are for display purposes only, and it's actually a VT"

Quite a depreciation hit.. :mad: if you bought one...

here are a couple

Car 1 (http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!cs_content.dealer_vehicle?vehicle_id=2281470&current_rec=4&total_rec=20&sort_type=1&make_id=81&model_id=550&state_id=-1&search_distance=25)

Car 2 (http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!cs_content.private_results?price_min=&price_max=&category_id=3&search_type=21&make_id=81&model_id=550&badge_id=27055&keyword=&state_id=-1&selected_region=&search_postcode=&search_distance=25&rego_vehicle_id=&cs_body_id=&drive_id=&km_min=&km_max=&year_min=&year_max=&door_num=&cs_trans_id=&cylinder_num=&engine_low=&engine_high=)

I can see a high K car going for mid 50's, but is probably less than average condition

My guess is that its probably a typo, with "y" being next to "t" on the keyboard, easy mistake to make.

if it was a VT GTS for 55k it'd wanna be a damn nice one at that

It didn't say it was a VY. It didn't specify what model it was. The ad read: "HSV 300kW GTS $55,000"
and had a picture of a black VY GTS under it.

Of course, it could have been a Black berlina with bodykit, badges, wheels and edit... ;)

I should have rung the dealer... had a mobile number under the ad

Anyone got Saturday's Daily Telegraph handy??

I can see a couple of VY GTS's for a $55-60K dealer asking price. 2002 model, with more than 40000kms. (carsguide.news.com.au.

I didn't think they sold the GTS Sedan in 2004, just the GTS Coupe..
