Hopefully there will be a follow-up story tomorrow with the headline: $100,000 for a Commodore? HSV dealers try to cash in.

They tried the same thing with BF Cobras. Perhaps in a few decades they might appreciate.

It took 37 years for my falcon 500 GS coupe to be with something
You couldn't give these things away for 15 years or so So I recon the price is going to come way down before it goes back up again They always compare limited addition cars to Bathurst models The truth is there aren't any more Bathurst models That why the phase 3 and Bathurst monaro's are worth so much cos they were built for Bathurst not accountants , company CEO's and plumbers (they all earn about the same lol) |

seriously. Drive haven't much to write about now do they? Most dealers haven't any left to sell and if they do, they are probably the dealers that were asking over the odds and refuse to sell at MLP. Anyway. you can ask as much as you like for whatever you want but its only worth what people will pay for it. And right now!!!! No R-Spec is worth anything north of 90k!

What a laugh, the price will go down, new GT at the moment is $75,000 just priced one at Etheridge ford, its black and on the show room floor.
Or will this mean my 1970 XW is now worth $300,000? Any car is only worth what some mug will pay for it. I can buy a 2003 GT for about $12,000 |

If you had $115k on a second hand GT would you seriously get a FG or any modern GT. I think not.

If I had 115 kay Id buy 2... a New GT and a new F6... LOL
If I parked them both in the shed I am sure they would be worth more then 1 Rspec in the long run! Especially if they had matching build numbers and colour... If I win the lotto this weekend im going to buy 1 of Each in the same colour to park up... all in black!

I'd buy a new base model territory, spend $1,000 at the RSL on a roast pork dinner, a few jugs of Tooheys New and pokies. Then I'd put the rest in the bank for similar nights out every week or so for a couple years.

A car is worth whatever someone wants to pay for it.
I highly doubt anyone is going to pay anywhere near that, though |

So why would someone pay 115k for a limited edition GT when FPV will be releasing new versions of limited editions next year which will be the final ones, and they will sell for what, maybe 30k less?
I think you can just about guarantee that none of these over inflated price cars will sell, and in 12 months time they will still be up on carsales unsold. |

Some of the comments written under the article were pretty cruel, those comparing a second hand AMG E63 are quite a bit off. Try servicing or replacing a part on the AMG and get back to me with a price.
One day these cars will be worth something, but not for another 15 years at least when everyone is driving Chery, Great Wall and Daewoo. Then, the only large affordable car available will be the Stavic.

'The styling may not be everyone's cup of tea'? Understatement of the bloody year mate! More like - the thing is dog ugly and as exciting as a sack of dried apricots.

We've got a Territory - love it. One of the few downsides to the Terry is the fuel consumption (but hey - she weighs 2500kg before anyone sits in it, so you're gonna get that)... The other is that my kids will outgrow it (as I have 4 of them) because the back seat is really not suited for bigger kids or adults, and the middle row of seats aren't really designed to go back and forth all the time... So - back to the UGLY Stavic... Sure they are ugly... even Ssanyong themselves must have been giggling in the design studio when they drew that one up..... But - inside it is actually very good, very flexible, very big, and nowhere near as ugly as the outside. The other plus is the Mercedes running gear - the auto and the diesel motor are brilliant... Because they are so goddamn ugly - they're worth NOTHING... So you can pick up a decent condition van with less than 100,000km for WAY less than $10k (probably closer to $7k). You can park it anywhere, nobody is going to steal it, nobody thinks you are pretentious, and it takes the attention away from other things that might be in the garage.... ;) Win Win I say... When it's time to move on from the Territory (which won't be too far away) then a 2nd hand Stavic is high on my list of things to check out thats for sure...
