Who is going to do the free seven years of servicing?

If you were going to keep the car forever it might be worthwhile.

Who is going to do the free seven years of servicing?

Stu as per my letter above:

Provide servicing and spare parts for at least 10 years, through national aftersales networks in Australia and New Zealand
Recalls or safety-related issues if they arise

[Micks]

Oh Ted

I never thought in a million years when I bought my VTII GTS in 2000 that I would see the day when Holden would cease to exist. They were on top of the mountain back in those days.

On the plus side, give it a couple of years after Holden shuts its doors for good and I reckon a 1 owner low k's GTS will be worth a pretty penny

Hopefully all the never released designs become a thing now..

Some good buying coming up but that said, they're only going to get cheaper over the year. Even as a die hard, I'm still very hesitant to bite the bullet. A lease could be a good option as resale won't matter so much.

Great if your a buyer... but on the flip side it Totally Annihilates the resale values in the used car market for those models...

Be thousands of pissed off newly acquired owners who paid near full RRP before the Holden Fire Sale, now Holden / GM just totally pisses in there pockets not giving two F#%*'s about the used car market.


Clearly David Buttner 100% knew in advance of the up coming Holden Fire Sale, just 2 weeks after stepping down as chairman and managing director of Holden, he purchased a Brand new Toyota HiLux...

Not a Holden Colorado....

His personal resale value of his Toyota HiLuk won't be effected one iota from the Holden Fire Sale...

Today you can buy a brand new... HOLDEN COLORADO Z71 DUAL CAB 4X4 AUTO T/D for $45990 driveaway... when just yesterday they retailed for RRP $57190...

Dave buttner was probably given the hilux by toyota. Fantastic marketing from toyota as usual.

Anyone who has paid full RRP for a holden in the last few months has either been living under a rock or is just crazy. There have been plenty of advertised cars with slashed prices for a long time as dealers havent been able to move them.

GM dont give a shit about holden or its customers. That has been made very clear by the way they have dealt with and treated holden over the past 15 years.

I'm extremely saddened by the whole situation. Broken promise after broken promise to holden customers means there was no trust with the brand anymore and regardless of the cars they were selling Holden was always going to fail.
