im thinking of trading in my 2006 ve ss for a VF GEN F GTS . is it really worth it though spending all that money for something that could be a waste of money later on or expensive if price on parts go up when Holden shuts down ? also should i buy after new years or before ? would these holden cars get more expensive or cheaper after they shut down ?
there is only one thing you can say for certain: you will never increase, or break even on the value of a car. it will
only ever depreciate.
it will depreciate at the normal rate unless the dept of transport allow full volume importation of used vehicles, in which case its estimated that a 15-30% drop across the board on all used cars in australia.
the value will not ever increase on a used vehicle, unless you are talking about a rare or desirable car, which the VF is not. single or limited run cars, display cars, etc will retain value. any vehicle thats purchased and driven, automatically starts to depreciate. and although a VF GTS is highly regarded amongst the die-hard holden fans, sadly, holden fans are usually very cash poor. anyone who has money to invest in a desirable car, will put the money into something that isnt mass produced plastic.
