Either that report is really old or he is out of touch with Australian prices. Good SSV utes are not fetching $30k, more like $25k and that would need to be a pretty good one to sell for that much.

The story is dated, ummm, let’s check, today!

So the author of the story is out of date....$58K for a VE ute today is for the stupid money thread

Definately out of touch

Well there you go. Then my second point is correct.

The story is talking about values in the UK, not locally.

Put your badge away Chrisp, the bloke made a reference to the Australian market. My reply was in reference to that in case you missed it.

With its odometer indicating it has travelled approximately 95,000km, the Commodore ute has been listed for £30,000 – equivalent to about $58,500 in Australian currency.
For context, the Holden Commodore SS-V ute was priced from $46,990 plus on-road costs in 2007, while second-hand examples with similar mileage in Australia are currently listed for sale for close to $30,000 – depending on condition.
The Commodore ute’s price is also more than double that of a 2007 Vauxhall VXR8 – the UK-market version of the HSV Clubsport, which was sold through official General Motors (Vauxhall) dealerships – which has been listed on AutoTrader for £14,950 ($29,000)

Quote from the article, saying this ute is valued at $58, 500 AUSTRALIAN dollars.

The OP has made a valid point...At those prices, put trackers on OUR utes (note Aussie utes not UK ones) so they don't end up in the UK, commanding those stupid prices

Might be wise you read the 2nd paragraph of the article
