$15 000 - what car would you buy and what year is it?? (1 Viewer)

[crazybrad]

I've NEVER had a problem with any commodore, and none of my friends have either.

vyII 2004 s pack supercharged, driving at 80kmh, brakes fail, yes fail, used hand brake to stop car, abs then failed, car wouldnt start.

vyI 2003 s pack supercharged, airbags fail.

commodores scare me

meanwhile they still go very fast

you see....you keep buying the supercharged V6

 

[crazybrad]

well other than that they go ok but if brakes failed when i was "testing them out" i would be in deep shit.

yeah i've heard of a VY SS ute having cruise control problems etc, I wouldn't buy a commodore later than a VS in any case.

All new models have examples with problems. It is an inevitability that no manufacturer can escape.

When you make a model in tens of thousands, there will be the odd one with problems.

You hear about a problem with this or that on the new Commodore or something at the pub or on the internet or from a mate, and more than likely it is a myth made up by some disgruntled overbiased Ford freak. And if it is true, for every one that has a problem, there would be five thousand that haven't!

Brad, I fully believe you! I have no reason not to.

I was just saying that a lot of problems you hear about cars are false (I recall people saying every then new BA Falcon had ABS problems - I never believed it, and it turns out that it was made up).

BUT problems DO happen, and most of the time it is in a small percentage of the model built - lemons, if you will - and the manufacturer normally silently replaces the faulty part during a service with ALL the models built.

But I do believe you! There are people out there that make shit up, but the detail you gave us rules you out of one of these fibbers.

I'd put a down payment on a ferrarri

 

[samuelblayden]

that is not much

$15 000 is that much you only could get a 2nd hand or a real old car

id trade in my current car and put a deposit on either
a) a new VW golf
b) a new Citroen C4

And you'd want a new car because......sorry, the thought bewilders me why somebody would want to buy a moving peice of plastic shit.
