GMH tells Opel to stop-the-boats!

[apollo13]

According to Wheels, they have suspended production, due to the large stockpile of slow-selling Holdens.
Will there be a clearance sale to shift those Zedbees?

 

[gossie]

No

 

[greenacc]

Sooner or later they will need to do something to clear them surely.
They have to get people driving the new commodores somehow. A 20% off sale ought to attract some interest!

 

[ratsmow]

Hypothetically would you buy one if they were 20% off.

Hypothetically would you buy one if they were 20% off.

would you buy one ratsmow , ?? , I'd consider it , probably the Calais

 

[greenacc]

Hypothetically would you buy one if they were 20% off.

Nah I wouldn't as I'm not looking to buy a car at the moment.

 

[Deuce]

To be honest, I'm more likely to sell the wifes car and get her a new astra. Prices seem to have been slashed at the moment.

 

[ratsmow]

No I wouldn't, it really doesn't tick any boxes for me. I tend to buy cars I want, not cars that are cheap or discounted. Maybe 50% off and the wife could drive it lol.

 

[VT&VX]

Maybe 50% off and the wife could drive it lol.

So you would by a car from a soon to be liquidated brand if it was 50% off the rrp that no one is paying.

If they were unloading them at 50% off it means they are closing down, right?

So like the MG about 13 years ago, buy two, same model and colour and keep one as backup.

Did thousands of miles around the UK and I could count on one hand how many Opel Insignias I saw.
A few wagons (estates there). The cars these compete with in Euro markets are far better.

I would rather by a VF2.

Good-Bye Holden
