Who cares?

Is not Mitsubishi the ones who said they would not discount?  And dont 70%
of their sales go to the Government? And how many 380s have they sold?

Bwaaahhahahahhaahahahahhahahahahhahaaaa!
Tell me, what is the Govt discount on a Falcon, or a Commodore, or
even a Camry?
Do you know what that "discount" is comprises of?
Do you know just one small thing about Govt contracts?

What is it with you lunatics and your fixation on Mitsubishi?

Its not the upfront discount, its the resale that most managers are really
concerned about.

Now that depends on what the original contract price dunnit.

Seems the 380 is holding it's value pretty well

You still have not answered why any fool would pay those over inflated
prices for a second hand 380 VrX.  Nor have you answered my question about
how much you can get off a Fairlane/Statesman. Or is all your talk about
"I'm sure you have a full working knowledge of tax structures and
liabilities here as well as details of any maintenance plans coincidental
with the various contract"
just hand flapping and you dont have a clue?

OK, I'll say it slowly.
The prices are not "over inflated" nor even inflated.
The fact that you can 'lease' a VRX at some Govt discount rate has
absobloodylootly nothing to do with Joe Public buying a car, new or
2nd hand.
He needs to pay the price the dealer asks with some negotiation NOT a
price given to a Govt that is buying thousands of vehicles annually.

>Nor have you answered my question about

I have absolutely no idea what you could get off a Statesman, you're
the guy who can get $9000 off a 380...you find out.

>Or is all your talk about
>"I'm sure you have a full working knowledge of tax structures and

Huh?

You're the one tossing around numbers...and ranting about the
different contract prices (that you call discounts) offered by various
manufacturers so, I'll say it again
"I'm sure you have a full working knowledge of tax structures and
liabilities here as well as details of any maintenance plans
coincidental with the various contract"

That would go some way toward explaining your dilema.

Yes it does.  The value tells me how inflated the car auctions of ex-gov
cars are.  And so do the dealers.

Errr the government is buying thousands of 380s?  To use your words: Bwahh!

I know.  It makes getting the Statesman, the pollies favourite car a better
choice than the 380.  Ohh the Fairlane looks sh.t from the outside, but is
not the Falcon a better car overall than a Commodore? So a Fairlane is
better than a Commodore:  or even a 380.

Do you know the national fleet "contract" prices then?  Not as good as
government prices but it does indicate how much fat there there are in them
cars.

I'll say it again

Would the 380 be percieved by fleet managers to have the same resale value
as a Magna and thats why they are not buying them?

You have 380 in your brain, you see them everywhere.
If you want one, buy one but in the meantime, try and concentrate on
the words as they are written.

Interesting, carsales.com.au:

Mitseeshitsee 380 Magna, dealer used cars, 82, private sales 2.
Ranging from 10 to 10,000km??

Mitseeshitsee 380 Magna, new cars 114!

Must be one hell of a flop! :-)
The secondhand dealers are trying to get new car prices on the old
ones..LOL I'll bet if you offered them a third of that price, they would be
all over you like a rash :-)

This is the same path the Leyland, Marina and P76 went.

FWIW, Redbook:

2005 Magna Trade in price guide* $14,000 - $15,700
price when new $33,890

2005 Commodore Trade in price guide* $16,200 - $18,400
price when new $33,650

2005 Falcon Trade in price guide* $16,100 - $17,900
price wnen new $34,555

I seriously doubt anyone could get 14 grand for a 2005 magna.

Is the resale of a Fairlane vs that of a Statesman so much lower that even
with the upfront discount it is not worth taking on a Fairlane?
Reaper - 19 Apr 2006 07:40 GMT

Actually it's both.  To put it in as basic terms as possible for the
simpletons out there:

   (Purchase price of car - Resale price of car) + the cost of financing
the car = vehicle cost.

The differences in fuel usage between the 6 cyl 380/Falcon/Commodore are not
as high on the priority list as the vehicle cost as defined above.

Wow excellent,
Now can you explain in laymans terms why the mitsubishi (I assume it
was the LX) is a whole $1000 cheaper than the Commodore (Exec, again I
assume).

I'm sure you have a full working knowledge of tax structures and
liabilities here as well as details of any maintenance plans
coincidental with the various contract.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Low resale value could be a good thing if the car is not a total lemon. I'd
buy it on the three-year-old mark. The value would be less than 50% of
original purchase. But a three-year-old car with reasonable km's should
still be reliable.

BTW this is partly a result of private buyers coming back to the dealer
and saying "Ooohhh the dash rattles, pull it all apart! It's no good!
Ohh it doesn't handle right that's no good for a $30,000 car fix it!
Ooohh I've changed my mind I'm going to reneg on the deal, too bad
you've paid for the car off the manufacturer, not my problem!"

This sort of crap, as well as the expense of glitzy showrooms and
sleazy salesmen which private buyers demand is one reason why they pay
$1000s extra. Govt./fleet buyers don't demand this stuff, they just
want the car and that's all they pay for.

because they can still hear the rattling in their heads.
