Some more info about Opel leaving

[hazrd]

“And in terms of resale value, I honestly think that a used Opel in a couple of years time will be good used-car property, because the car is a German-built and -engineered premium car – particularly the OPC models, which are outstanding cars, they’re going to become very good property, they’re going to be quiet well sought after.”

That comment seems a little bit contradictory dont we think? Considering the OPC Astra dropped $15k overnight, and the OPC Corsa by $10k, it doesnt seem to make much sense

And that's exactly my point as well.

Interesting that dealers are still selling them at pretty much normal brand new prices online though... advertising 'liquidation prices' but still at anything from $28990 drive away to $32k (Corsa OPC).

Couldn't Agree More. Dealers wont move much on pricing. They have been offered assistance from Opel from What one Article is saying . They wont loose out.

As for the Comment in the article retaining to to values holding up well i dont tend to believe this as once the brands gone and parts become harder to source in after 6-7 year mark i cant see them holding values from now on in. To obtain parts
you will have to either special order them through Holden dealerships or find them overseas in the later lifes of the car.

yep 2nd hand parts market will be a bit iffy, insurance premiums will also be quite high due to lack of spares and local support
