When will the last Holden sell

[wetwork65]

Maybe sooner than we think according to this. Strange you can still build and price a new holden on their website though

Maybe me, but all I get for my preferred models are "Contact your local dealer for pricing and availability".
Sounds like - "let's make up a price and see if you go for it".
The variants I don't really want have pricing showing on the website, so it seems noone else wants them either/heaps of stock.
Oh and the downloadable brocure is for MY18.

Since when do Subaru no longer make WRX?

In the UK at least, the third gen Impreza was met with a lot of disdain after the popular 2nd gen (McRae, Burns inspired RB5, P1 etc). IIRC they didn't bring a full spec (280bhp+) version across immediately, people didn't like the hatch looks and the market died.
The resurgence of the hot hatch at the same time (Golf GTI, Renaultsports, Fords) gave people far more options in that market.

Plus you can sell more expensive bits on a GTR to the loaded punter.

I did read again today, they are hoping to sell all their stock by the last 3rd of this year....There is surposed to be plenty of stock sitting and some still to arrive. It was also mentioned, expect dealerships to discount heavily to clear stock and with talks underway with them to potentially move to other brands, I suspect they will be big discounts.

Of course, time will tell

I've seen figures of $2 to $10k discount in the media. Yeah nah.

Those reports allegedly came from a discounted price-list sent to dealers today, up to $11.5k off a Colorado, I think $8k off an Astra.
But if they're the new list prices, wait a few months & you could negotiate more.
Nothing on Commodore as they're already on runout.

Worthless cars
Imagine the depreciation
Nobody would want it second hand

good for business buyers perhaps but why would you want a dying brand car when there are soooo many good options out there from brands that are very stable and certainly more reliable...

My bets are on that this demo barina from 2018 with 661klms on the clock will be the last holden

They may end up suffering the stigma the Mitsubishi Magna did.
