How much would you pay?

[RWD4ever]

I guess things have changed quite quickly for Aussie cars in the past few years and you're right, a VF will lose close to half its value in three years (so says Redbook). I don't remember it always being this bad for circa VY-VE era Commodores, in fact I remember Wheels Magazine rating Falcon XR6 and Commodore SV6 the least depreciating cars sold in Australia (somewhere around 2009?).

I'll stand by my original reply that there's plenty of worse depreciating cars being sold out there!

There was a story about car depreciation (what to buy blah blah) on the idiot box recently, and the bloke claimed that used Commodores were now depreciating less.
Maybe since production ended....

Crazy prices for used LS3 powered cars at a recent 'sale' at the local central coast stealership

 

[Pablito]

That 'sale' was a joke. They literally raised the prices of their vehicles thousands of dollars a few days before the sale.
I had some of their cars saved as favourites on the carsales app and it shows the before and after price.

So breaching consumer law then.

Here's an example.
$15,870 on the Thursday......... and then could be had for only $28,990 during the sale!
Bargain...............

Supply and demand. You want V8, you PAY....

Yeah but that Falcon is a 6 cylinder...that Dealer is surely kidding...more likely an advertising error?....otherwise I agree with VS 5.0, is this not totally illegal?

Who cares about an N/A 6cyl falcon.....

Who cares about an N/A 6cyl falcon.....

Certainly not me...at either of those prices.
I guess they could always argue it has the same interior as their final model ie dated
