VF Sandman wagon and ute

[HK1837]

Been giving this a lot of thought and as I ordered a VF Sandman with the intention of it being the 'last' one made , I now have a decision to make and I need some help from you guys in the know. Seeing as 'we all gathered' that a Series II would happen 'except dumb old me' my question is , should I bite the bullet and cancel the Series I and wait for the Series II in 2016 or even the Series III in 2017 ?

I agree it is a tough call. Using the VS SS as an example again, you'd have been spewing if you paid top dollar for the new and limited edition VS SS ute, only to find Holden make another 300 a year later $2000 cheaper and with the new 179kW roller cam, sequential injected engine. However other times like an LX SS, if you'd jumped in and grabbed one early in LX you'd get the good car, if you'd waited past the initial build and ordered one you'd have got the dog ADR27A engine. In both those cases you'd probably have known further builds were on the horizon, however with the VF Sandman you don't have that certainty although common sense tells Holden that if the early ones sell easily to make another lot. I'd be happy with what you got - if they do make a second lot then that is life. At least you wanted one and got one.

Fair call

Don't buy the HZ Sandman and wait for the WB Sandman - enough said!
It will still suck though if a SII or SIII comes along. But you can always "upgrade"

Ok guys, good advice there. I'll stop panicking and carry on. Cheers.

Yeah I reckon it's good advice too, series II could be americanised, and will be more of them. I think you're on a winner.
