well i will seriously be looking at a gts or grange when they come out......price, i dont care, all cars will loose money, but why only buy a car based on its resale, i get cars based on what i want and can afford at the time, not what i may get as a trade down the track.
the point made above about resale on a c63 is way off the mark. 165k new, 5 years time mb finance will give 75k trade on the car if it is still in good condition and only traveled 15000km p/a........thats 90k loss over 5 years!!!!
now i seriously am considering a c63 to replace my caprice but since the lsa motor has been confirmed, my plans have changed. i dont care what i loose on any of my options, all i do know is il will be over the moon with any of them.
100k for a commodore, thats fine. most people walk past a omega without even a side glance......new gts/grange/c63, looks all around. its all about the image, the brand and thats why the price isnt in reach of most as its meant to be exclusive. look at it another way, you can get a pair of dunlop volleys (omega) or a pair of nike (gts) both will do the same job but one will be better then the other and the price difference is massive.
call me a snob, call me a cashed up bogan, or just a regular bogan, i dont care. i work my arse off in my day job and also my business for my meterial items and i am going to enjoy the fruits of my labour. best of all, its all a tax claim
