given that HSV has had the LS3 in the vehicles for a long time.

I think thats more of a problem for HSV owners than it is for SS owners. From a resale perspective, there is no harm being grouped into a circle with cars that cost their original owners a lot more !

When you think about it though, its an interesting time for many different reasons, not just Commodores going away. Almost across the board, V8's are being abandoned, turbos are being fitted to smaller capacities, engine noises are being played through speaker systems and electric cars are rising. Its hard to predict what effect such a monumental shift will have on future values. In the short term these dinosaurs are going to appear like unapologetic pollution machines and possibly be devalued purely by their image. In the long term they may stand as a symbol of motoring passion from a bygone era and give some future generation a way to express their individualism like the hipsters of today.... only time will tell.

The LSA powered vehicles will hold some interest, the rest would depreciate like any commodore.

I think the massive gap in cost up to an LSA powered car will keep the LS3 ones a little more buoyant than Commodores have traditionally been.

Don't kid yourselves, only good example Brockmobiles will have a shot at returning significant gains over the long term and you will need to pony up big time to get one now.

If you live in a capital city you could probably rent the garage space taken-up by a good example Brockmobile to 18 students, and get more gain outta that ...

Too true, or leave your money in the bank for 30 years earning compound interest...
