Smile Re: Commodore Anyone?

Yeah I'd drive/buy a Commodore, but I'd prefer a Ford. The reality is that I dont own a Business so I cant write a new vehicle off on tax and I dont buy cars every 3-5 years. I can Lease thru work but why buy a Commie brand new on Lease and then have the residual payment more than its worth after 4 years.

Ive been driving 4x4's for years over here in the West (Own Cruiser Ute + last of the Nissan 4.2 turbo wagons) and have been always intending to buy a Nice Falcon...."one day". Well looks like Detroits pulled the pin on all of us and Australia in General. What they have left behind are enough cars and parts to last me a further 30 years and see me out.

What the attraction of a poxy Mondeo or Focus is ?.....well thats beyond me (not my type of motoring). I'm 45 and Ford is Falcon/Fairlaine(Oh thats dead as well). Kill those nameplates and I'll adapt and survive.

Thinking all nostalgic (Grandad had a Model A), might bag a nice G220 5.4 and make it sound nice........that'l do. These cars are Dionsaurs, just like me.

The Commodore is supposedly good till 2020 at this point, go for it, I dont need a new car every 3 years.............really who cares.....I cant buy any Whale Lamp oil anymore and have recently had issues buying Phillips laser-discs
