Want to Buy a VXR...???

[Mr T]

Because a few Sydney based people are interested in the VXR and because these are not likely to be a negotiable item, a few months ago I spoke to Blackie to see if a special package could be organised if OpelAus comes together and makes a large quantity order.

Blackie has come through with the goods and when pricing is available we can all sit down with Blackie and his boss and work out the details.

So if you are interested and want to be one of the first to own a VXR, Send Myslef a PM so that you're on the list...and remember the more people we have the more power we have...!!!

[Red AH SRI T]

Just a side note, anyone wishing to take delivery from the FIRST SHIPMENT needs to have their details in by CLOSE OF BUSINESS WEDNESDAY

No exact price yet, besides BELOW $43K

[BassyAstra]

Wow thats crazy.

Your could potentially get a mad group buy and get some amazing deals.

If the deal comes down to 35grand for a VxR, count me in:p *cries*

[Shaun]

Below 43k + ORC?
I am looking to buy one but it wont be in the 1st batch. Im off to Europe in the end of may for 32 days. (UK and Singapore as well and hoping to get a ride in Aussie_in London VXR.) Will the Opelaus Discount still stand in 6 months time?

[Mr T]

I wouldn't think so. See the special deal, what ever that may be, would be only achievable because we would have several people buying at once.

[BassyAstra]

You usually get an awsome deal buying just 2 cars at once from a dealer, this would be unmissable.

[Mrs T]

Argh...

Not fair not fair....

What to do, what to do.....


Why oh why does it need to be a 3 door???????


Ill have to have a think.... I was all set for one a month ago

[btm]

how things change so quickly.... :D

[Mrs T]

he he yeah

I'm not sure about the time between shipments.

If u like i can enquire as to holding over the deal for you.

It would be stupid if our dealership refused to assist you. Let me see what i can do.

What colour whould u go for shaun?

Also, 6 months time is when deliveries would BEGIN on the first batch, you dont need to pick up the car straight away, but u could secure one of the first and we would keep it in storage at the deal price for when ur ready

[oneightoo]

what sort of rate of interest could be gotten if finance is taken thru the dealership? i take it holden still use esanda?

[Shaun]

Thats cool.. about the deal.Arden Blue or Flame red.

My Problem being is i need to hold on to my SRi T alittle longer as well as my Holiday. Im thinking about March 07 for the VXR. If i bought my own finance would that be o.k? I get Staff rates where i work thats all.

[pred8r]

I think its dealership dependant, my loan was through St George.
Mrs Preds was through GMAC, different GM dealer though.

Oh FYI the interest rate through the dealership was 1% lower (9.??%) than i could find anywhere else (almost 11%).

[Red AH SRI T]

Our dealership uses ESANDA, and no the deal wouldn't be refused if u didnt want to take our finance.

So long as you pay for the car with legal funds :eek:

[btm]

that's a rip for a new car loan!

i went to a credit union and got 7.2% for my new car loan... (went up to 7.45% last interest rate rise though)

[Nem]

Who's this offer open to?

[Red AH SRI T]

Offer open to OpelAus who expresses their interest in purchasing a HSV VXR through Heartland Holden Parramatta

[oneightoo]

can our interstate members take advantage of this offer and have their work of art shipped to them??

[Red AH SRI T]

i think something could be arranged for those people

we have previously sold HSV's to people in both Brisbane and Melbourne and trucked them to the owner

I need to know if anyone else is interested, cause i have to email stock control tonight

[The Sentinel]

I'm certainly interested.
I'm in Brisbane though.

What would be there deal there?

What sort of cost would be involved in shipping it??

[Red AH SRI T]

well, u can either work it into the deal, or pay for it yourself

Last time we shipped a vechile to brisbane it cost abotu $1000 for a covered car carrier, of course uncovered is a lot cheaper

[CateO]

what sort of rate of interest could be gotten if finance is taken thru the dealership? i take it holden still use esanda?

I got my finance thro Holden and they went thro St George.
Not sure if this works for every location ... :rolleyes:

[Red AH SRI T]

Price will be announced MONDAY

[Red AH SRI T]

Heartland Holden Parramatta has Requested 12 Cars from the first shipment, 3 of each of the four colours :D

[BassyAstra]

Price will be announced MONDAY

Very interesting.

[Captjono]

Very interested...but...

Don't think I could convince the wife I needed a new car after having the SRiT for less then half a year!

What an opportunity though...

It might get me even with Heartland Holden after ripping me off for the SRiT! ;)

Oh well...I'll just have to still 'want one'!!!

[pred8r]

Sounds like its attached to a house or you had a deposit for that rate, Which CU?

[oneightoo]

not really.. gateway credit union is who the cba use, and they offer our staff 8% personal loans..

[pred8r]

Aaaah the old staff/'mates rates' interest rate (currently 8.5% on new)

its a secured loan against the car

it was with Randwick Credit Union (which has since been taken over by SGE Credit Union)

It is an extremly good rate - I work for a bank and I couldnt even get a staff rate as low as that..... :eek: weird....

[Red AH SRI T]

i'm on base rate with esanda at the moment, and shall get the same when i upgrade :D

Oi man thats my bank, i told you about them.
They are the best, been dealing with them for years, ebay powerseller :rolleyes: *blush*

[pred8r]

After a quick look at their site, the New Car loan is about the best thing there(8.75%). If its not a new car its personal-secured in which case its 10%, which is not so great/average.

Blackie, what rate do you get through esanda?

[Red AH SRI T]

let me check for you, i have NOOOOOOOOO idea!!!

[Shaun]

Any word on Pricing?

[Red AH SRI T]

not yet, but i will push to get answers today

[Shaun]

Any Answer from HSV though ?

[Red AH SRI T]

thats what i mean, HSV said monday but still no word as of yet :(

trust me, as soon as i know i will post straight away!

[Shaun]

Cheers Kurt. They are holding out as long as they can and also they are very tight lipped about it.

[pred8r]

bump, any word yet? i just want to whine about how much of a good deal i missed out of to Mrs Pred

My argument was 'But honey, you cant drive a house?'

i got the 'look'

i shut up

[btm]

Oi man thats my bank, i told you about them.

Vauxhall VXR badging :D

[Shaun]

Kurt,
Is there any update on a price of the VXR at this stage?

[Red AH SRI T]

no, however i ahvent been at work for a few days due to easter, when i get back tomorrow i shall enquire

I know we have a training session in the next 3-4 weeks for the Astra diesel and SRi Turbo, maybe we will find something out then?

I will also try and speak to the HSV rep :D

[Shaun]

been trying to get information from HSV on the site but nothing. like trying to get blood out of a stone.

Also kurt im hearing 100 units will be imported to australia for 2006 and that most of those are pre orders. is that the case?

[Red AH SRI T]

i haven't heard anything about numbers except for each HSV dealer was asked to submit how many cars they would like out of the first shipment.

[MatsHolden]

It'll be an almost impossible task to get test drive of one before you make your decission if you want to buy one or not, will it not? Considering they're not going to be high volume shipments.

[Red AH SRI T]

we will be placing one as a demonstrator and marking it "DO NOT SELL"

[MatsHolden]

Ahh ok. Are HSV going to have one demo per state or something that they pass around various dealers?

[Shaun]

Kurt will there be that special test drive you were talking about for people are Keen about buying one?

[Wattie]

just bloody get the f#@kers on the bloody road god dammit!!!!
im sick of all this waitning and talkin, i wanna see one with nsw plates on it smoken it past me on the road...

[Red AH SRI T]

LMAO @ WATTIE


hehehehehe


yes, im trying to pull some strings with the test drive, to make it more than just your average 10 minute drive around the block.


Make suggestions if u like


and dealers will be responsible for having their own demonstrators

[blueraven]

meaning their wont be a single demo in the country :)

[Shaun]

LMAO @ WATTIE


hehehehehe

Drive day of HSV Products @ Eastern Creek ? or a Day test drive?

[Red AH SRI T]

i was thinking something along those lines :D

[oneightoo]

how easy would it be for you blackie to steal the keys one night?

[Red AH SRI T]

i don't need to steal, i already have permission to have one for a week as soon as they come out :p

[oneightoo]

can we organise a nsw cruise that weekend??

[Red AH SRI T]

how about i organise to have the car on my weekend off, and i let u all know as soon as i know when that weekend will be, and we go cruising? :D

[oneightoo]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oneightoo]

tho you could just organise for everyone interested in getting one to meet somewhere and check it out..

[Red AH SRI T]

and make evveryone else miss out???


Sounds EVIL!!!


I LIKE IT! :p

[oneightoo]

exactly.....

[Shaun]

i like the cruise idea when you have one for the week.

Do we know a confirmed date or release atm or not?

[Red AH SRI T]

no, not yet

be sure to know that you will be amongst the first to know ;)

[Shaun]

no, not yet

be sure to know that you will be amongst the first to know ;)
cool.. HSV are very tight about price atm as well.

[Red AH SRI T]

tight as a fishes a$$

[Shaun]

tight as a fishes a$$
I know.. but they can be
they have what i want...

[drewm]

Took me a while to catch onto this thread.... but I am interested to check out the demo when you get it in. As for buying...maybe sometime in 2007 :) Im hanging to test drive the VXR, XR5 and 3 MPS back to back.

Anyone else see the test of XR5 on 5th gear?? Sweet sounding motor, pity bout the looks. Saw the pricing on Ford Aus website today and they want $1800 for the 'Electric Orange' finish :eek: . Thankfully HSV won't be crazy enough to charge such an exorbitant amount for Arden blue on a VXR....

[Shaun]

I will be going in a VXR before the hit our shores. I have a ride arrange while im in the UK next month. I will be getting some footage and some pics thats for sure.
any more news yet Kurt?

[Red AH SRI T]

sorry peeps, im hanging for news just as much as you are!!!

[Shaun]

its painful. they dont even have any info on the up coming SRi T let alone the VXR.
