Thread: God V8 Discoveries are getting cheap

No offence intended to the V8 owners amoungst us

Swings and roundabouts NOZ :roll:



The dearer the fuel gets the cheaper the V8s get


The late D1 V8's are becoming real bargains, most sub $10K for 97-99 models. 8O 8O

You are very right NOZ they are getting very cheap. They are great cars but the fuel price is killing owners. Obviously this applies to other makes as well.

Lots of owners who have good vehicles have gone to gas as an option to selling a good vehicle too cheaply.

Think of your worst nightmare :roll:
































and double it

Glad when I was looking for mine that I couldn't get a decent trade on the original V8 Iwas keen on, that was before ULP had hit the dollar mark, thinking back I called the dealer all sorts of names at the time, and none of them compilmentary, but now I should send him a thank you card as he actually did me a favour without knowing :wink:


I reasearched them at 15-22+ lt per 100km dependant on conditions and weight of right foot 8O

They are the Ducati of the V8 world ( they sound great ) . That said the sound of the V8 would make it hard not to press the right foot a bit more than the norm.

22lt/100

15lt/100

tempting though

Noz,

I average 19.5litres/100km on fuel around the Sunshine Coast and about 16.5 on a trip.

LPG consumption is similar.

Ok I think I will have to stay with the old TDI.

Although sometimes there is nearly 20c a litre difference in fuel prices, that would help even up the odds a bit
