long time lurker and second time poster. Apologies for what may be a commonly asked question ( i did search to no avail ) but I need some advice about a potential purchase of a VE SS sedan. I was previously after a VY Maloo but with my partner now having a company car and me also having one, we've decided to sell both our private cars and get one for the weekends, trips away etc. Since Ford in their infinite wisdom dropped the XR8, the SS is now what I'm looking at.
I know the basics about the SS's but I am getting a bit lost on the MY upgrades between series etc, ideally I'm after a manual with the in dash screen (which i think is VE2 onward?), sunroof and preferably Poison Ivy in colour (partner's pick). Anything on top of those options will be a bonus and I would look at modified examples within reason - a full exhaust and intake is something I would do myself anyway.
SS or SSV doesn't matter too much to me, cloth seats preferable over leather and the 19" wheels would be nice but always something i can buy later. My budget is around $30-35k and I would look at travelling for the right car (I'm in NSW). I don't want anything older than a 2009 model and from what Ive seen on Carsales I think I should be able to get this within the budget.
Can anybody advise whether there are/were any significant upgrades between the MY models that I should take into consideration. As above we have a few definite 'must haves' but anything else will be a bonus.
Thanks in advance for any info anybody can offer.
