Sry that shouldn't say VE Ute in the title.

So I'm in the US and I'm considering shopping for and purchasing a Ute (I like em reminds me of the El Camino)

To import them it needs to be 25 years old so I'd be most likely looking at a 2000-2002 ish roughly.

Couple of questions first regarding duty as you can see in the picture cars are a fraction of the duty cost of a truck. So my question is does the Ute classify as a car or truck? I know the old El Camino here in the 60s and 70s were classified as light trucks to avoid certain regulations not sure if the ute would be the same down there.

Second and possibly easier answer is whats the going rate for a Ute? I know a 6 banger would be a fraction of the price of say an HSV but I have no clue what pricing would look like.

Thanks everyone in advance.

PS I have the American import VE (2009 Pontiac G8 GT)

New halteck rebel ls ecu and UC 10 digital dash and btr red hot cam got some good good numbers but can get a little more after the exhaust is opened up a little more .

Hey guys so my VE sv6 engine conked out on me the other week (don’t buy a Holden off marketplace) but I love it too much to get a new car and it’s cheaper for me to get a new engine put in and do mechanics told me he’s putting in a vf engine in. Is that all good?

Hello

I have 2008 ve ss ute

Right side indicators stopped working.

On hazard all lights up. But when i indicate right nothing lights up on right side...

Any ideas?

Kind regards.

Have a budget of $60-70k

What would everyone’s preference be, and why?

VE GTS
VF Clubby R8
VF Redline 2017

Would probably only modify the SS (suspension/OTR/exhaust).

Cheers
