I reckon the system works fine at the moment. most new buyers are buying at some sort of significan discount (fleet, lease etc) then the private people buy them for a more reasonable price s/h at 18 months old and everybody wins. possible exceptions are cars in demand where depreciation is very low and it works out only slightly more to get a new one - eg near new Mazda's - nearly bought a new one a few years ago when s/h units were close to the same price. ended up finding a s/h bargain and went with that... Falcons and the like will never have that sort of demand since fleets are buying and offloading so many that there are always plenty of near-new ones to choose from at huge price savings over new. |

Recently someone asked for a comparison of sales of the Sportswagon against the Territory but I can't seem find which thread it was in. So I thought I would post the figures in here and hopefully they will see it. There might be the odd VZ wagon in there but it gives an idea for comparison.
Sales from July 2008 to August 2010 Holden Commodore Wagon/Sportwagon 32,849 Ford Territory 24,440 |
