Man you do alot of driving.
After dropping my ex lease SV6 off last monday at Pickles Canberra I have noticed it is up this thursday.

Looks like i'll have to drop over and see what it goes for.
For any potential bargain hunters. be warned. The gearbox started making a large clunk as it downshifted to 1st as you came to a stop. and there have been the following repairs done, over and above normal servicing.
1. front bar replaced after roo
2. front bar replaced after roo
3. both headlights replaced at different times due to above
4. new passenger guard and all left side repaired after armco got to close
5. rear bar repaired
6. all rotors replaced
all in all, I got my money's worth from my employer's fleet company. Thanks T.
should add, not sure why they put the spare tyre condition as fair as the tyre has never been out. Might have to go and check it out, and if the tyre has been changed for a worn one I'll pass it onto fleet and let them chase it.

actually that car didn't do as many as forecast. I set the lease up for 35k a year but did 110,000 in the first year. I saw one of the monthly fleet reports during that time and my car was highlighted with all these warnings, excessive tyre wear, excessive kms etc. And the financial breakdown was good reading, in one month fuel was $1492, lease was $4xx, services/tyres was $4xx. My outlay per month was $1311
I should clarify, the car did 110,000 in the first year. Either wife or me driving.
110,000 km/yr...that's only 300km/day EVERY day
Thats is a shit load of driving, poor car
It went for
$15400
I think some people believe that if they buy at auction, then they automatically get a screaming bargain. So just bid without thinking much.
I recently attended a Pickles auction in Perth to try and pick up a near new Falcon for the missus, but left half way through because people were just frantically bidding big $$$ on crap cars (of all brands). I ended up doing a FAR better deal on a mint 1 owner 14000km unit privately for about $2000 less than similar 50000km fleet hacks were fetching at Pickles. I dont think I'll ever attend an auction again.
Today was the first weekday auction I've attended since pickles moved it from saturday. What I noticed was a lot less buyers than usual, and a lot more cars being passed in (and then announced as sold 10 minutes or so later)
A few bargains (fords mainly) went through but the price for my old one was a shock. I saw a youth with a few mates bidding on it early on but didn't note if he was the winner.
I dont think $15,400 is too bad a price for the vehicle...
redbook values are:
2006 HOLDEN COMMODORE
VZ MY06 SV6 Sedan 4dr SA 5sp 3.6i
Prices based on km 30,000 - 50,000
Trade in price guide* $18,000 - $20,200
National average price - private sale* $22,100 - $24,500
obviously its got higher km's...but even on carpoint the only comparable 2006 SV6 is one with 118,000kms on the clock at $18,450
we brought about 6 months ago a 2006 VZ Exec..ex cop car...for $15,300..had 70,000km on the clock.....just traded it in on the VE SS and got $15,000 as a trade....
