when will last VF sell? place your bets

[NigelD]

What is interesting is the 3-year warranty. I purchased my MY2017 VFII SS in February 2019 - I have a 7 year (in writing) GMH warranty.
The dealer explained they has pushed GMH to increase the warranty period to help move the final stock.
Metro Motors Perth purchased 30 SS / SS Redlines at the end of the production run. Mine was the last SS they had in stock. There was one Redline remaining.
There was 30km on the clock although the Reg No. indicated registration in late 2017 / early 2018. New cars are normally registered soon after purchase. The dealer told me GMH insisted all old stock was registered once the new "Commodore" was in the showroom so there was only one type of new commodore customers could see.

it mentions in the ad that the car is being maintained under a 'preservation cycle'. However, I remain firmly unconvinced that allowing a machine designed to be driven (at least on occasion) to sit idle, with crucial moving parts remaining completely stationary, is in any way good for its long term health.

Yeah, I thought the same thing. I get that he wants to keep the kms ultra low. But after having sat for 2+yrs completely undriven..you bet I'll want to take it for a test drive before parting with my hard earned. Who knows what's dried out or starting to seize etc..

Battery died within a year and the wiper rubbers were crap - neither covered by warranty. No surprise.
Everything else - fine.

It's actually the first ever production VF, not just Calais. Personally, for the first vehicle of the last ever local model series, never registered, the price is pretty damn fair.

I thought the heritage collection was being preserved but now it seems one example is for sale.... or is it since you need you need to “register your interest”

That price will be for bait purposes only.

Given the register your interest concept, I expect they are running a silent auction.....they will be expecting much more than that price, esp given the dealer that it is.

They auctioned a bunch of vehicles off last year. That Calais was one of them.

I jumped the gun and didn't read that part..it'll be like one of those 'price guides' at a house auction where the poor first home buyer thinks he has a chance until old mate investor beside him breaks out the blank cheque..

looks like a 6 figure proposition in that case..
