Don't know if anyone has seen this site but its pretty interesting.

The price for ute's and coupes are way off, I just wish they could be found at what they state.

Utility

Coupe

1600

Look at the 1600.For 2,300 you wouldnt even get a rusted shell.

1600 Roadster

Yeah, but isn't the red book for car dealers.......?

It'd explain why the buy prices are so low.

What's the difference between a used car dealer & a catfish?
One's a scum sucking bottom feeder & the other's a fish.

red book, glasses guide they are there for the true value of the cars from the markets persepective. they do not take into consideration sentimental value/ rarity really or demand due to fads/demand

its like a walkinshaw, some willpay $30000 up for one, but is it really worth that much for a commodore made of plastic? (only to those who think so)(used only as an eample, let the flaming begin)

Are 1994 vtir preludes really worth 15000 when a 1999 is only worth 20000 or a 1993 pulsar sss worth 12000 when a 2001 is only $17000.

supply vs demand, and the facts dont take that into account as reality by car industry is that each car should have a lifespan, usually 10 to 15 years for the general market max.

apparently a 240z or 260z coupe is worth less than a 260z 2+2
what poop.
i had an argument with the bank guy about how much my ute was worth.
redbook is poop

Yeah, thats why I think they're way off, its good to know what sort of profit margin dealers are making on some models.

A dealer won't pay more than say $800 for a good example of a ute yet they will sell it for say $5000. Not bad for detailing a car. And no way is the natonal private sale average $1800-3000, on more utes than not some sort of engine conversion has been done.
