There are 2 V's that i'm considering pulling the trigger on.
The 1st one is a 2007 with 56,451mi for probably $24k with a warranty till 10/9/2011
It looks like it has an upgraded exhaust, I'm not sure what the rims are, the tires are Michelin pilot sports the rotors look upgraded as well.

The other is a 2006 with 57, 153 miles no warranty and it looks like there are no mods as well, just bone stock. This one I can get for 20k, but there is a front license plate installed and that just pisses me off, since I will have to fix that i hate front plates drilled into the front fascia.

So if you were me which car would you guys suggest to go after?

 

i would do the blk one. It has the upgraded wheels and a warranty.even at 24 its a little high i think.

 

I too would go with the black one. It has the Accessory wheels and also appears to have a different exhaust, the tips look larger than stock. Plus the warranty may come in handy.

 

Are the rims on the black one stock, but just and upgrade option?

 

Ohh man go grab that 07. 100k powertrain warranty, Nice accessory wheels, upgraded exhaust (and maybe more), and best of all it is a FG2 car! The fg2 shocks are awesome man and it makes the car even more rare .

See if you can get the gm vis (service history) report for both cars and take a look at what has been done to both. Good luck!

 

Just checked the Carfax and they both have been in wrecks!!

 

The black one. They say black is the fastest color.

I think they are both over priced. I'd look around some more. I got mine for 22k and it had 36,xxx miles and it was never wrecked. Just my .02 cents.

 

oh man wrecked. that sucks. me i would ask for more money off.

 

I would keep looking. You can find a really good deal on one that has not been in a wreck.

 

When they state "wrecked", does that mean salvaged title then? I personally wouldn't want one that was wrecked (without knowing full story/damage and negotiating a lot of $ off for future woes in selling, etc.); now if it's salvaged, will be worth about 1/2 of a normal one, so they are certainly smoking crack in that case, lol.

Probably best to keep looking either way then.

 

carfax will tell you if it was a salvaged/branded title. Either way, there are better deals than that for a non wrecked V.

 

Yeah I will keep looking. Thats a bummer I was all ready to pull the trigger too

 

Can you post up the full carfax please? Does it say what was messed up?

 

Look under the thumbnail pictures on the autotrader ad and you will see a link that says "get a free carfax report". Just click on that.

 

Front right damage.

 

Both cars are also auction cars which means the dealers probably got them pretty cheap!!

 

I live in the town that is selling the silver one. I actually just bought my '05 V from them.

They don't budge much on price. However, mine had never been in a crash and had 15,000 miles about 2 months ago....

 

id start out wayyyy low if your going to go with either of them

 

that 07 has the Corsa (maybe Borla) exhaust, Accessory Wheels, GM Cross Drilled rotors, and would surprise me if there is even more done to it.

24k isnt a bad price for the V, but i bet you can get it lower. i would start around 21 or 22. and see if you can get OTD for 23k (price would be 21700 or right around there.

edit: and BTW...Raven 07s are the best V to own, just to let you know
