My colleague's son was trying to sell a VE SV6 in early 2020, prior to leaving for an overseas study trip and backpacking holiday. He was asking $6K, which I thought was reasonable for the age and condition, and under all the $7-10K dreamers with worse condition cars. He couldn't get anyone to offer more than $4K, and even when he put 12 months rego on it, the best was $4500.

Of course we all know what hit just weeks later, and delayed his plans for over 2 years.

He sold it a couple of weeks back for $9K - to the young guy at the workshop who did the inlet manifold gaskets on it in Feb. It made me look at the cheap end of VEs, and even they seem to have all jumped again, so it's not just the V8s.

Turbo FGs on the other hand.....with what they're being sold for now, they're already well on the way to becoming the new iteration of the VL Turbo....
