ReDriven on the VE as a used buy, ute version. Same 6 litre as my SS and the same list of things to check. Timing chains on the early 3.6s, the drive belt, and the rear end going through tyres. Mine has done 190,000 and needed all of that at some point. Still cheaper than anything else with a V8 and a full size boot. #holden #commodore
Took the SS down the Great Ocean Road last month. Big heavy sedan, terrible idea on paper, an absolutely brilliant weekend in practice.
Gday. VE Commodore SS, Melbourne. Been reading for a bit and finally made an account. How many Holden people are actually on here?
Aussies, what are decent VE SS cars going for now? They seem to have stopped falling and quietly started climbing again.
The sad part about the Commodore ending is not the badge. It is that nobody builds a big rear drive family car with a V8 in it anymore. There is no replacement, there is just nothing.
Vic plates on an E90 parked up on the lawn like it belongs there. Not my usual thing, I am a Commodore bloke. But a facelift 3 Series in silver has aged better than most of what was sitting next to it in 2010.

Nine years with the VE and the only thing that has ever actually stopped me was a window regulator. People love telling me Holdens are unreliable and I just do not recognise the car they are describing.
