Default Re: Good value second hand cars - COVID times, Falcon/Commodore tax

Thought i done not too bad in june/july 2020 I bought a VF Calais V 6ltr V8 wagon for 29.5k.. (as covid tax was starting on V8 holdens) Had it for 20-ish months, put 15,000kms on it and drove it how a V8 should be driven. Put it on carsales, had a wholesaler contact me and came within 1k of what I wanted so figured saves the headache of waiting and was money the next day pending mechanical inspection so why not and got 36.5k for it

It ended up in a caryard 500km away for 42.5k then seen it get down to 39.2k it was carsales for 4 and a bit months in the yard. Was surprised surely between the whole sale, caryard, freight, mechanical inspections there wasn't much made off it in the end.

And now - here I am wanting another VF wagon! Probably wait till next year for the prices to come down more and just get a pov pack next time though.
