The mid-size Holden Equinox is also a flat rate $10,750 off, or about a third off the price of the base model, bringing it from a bit over $30,000 drive-away to close to $20,000 drive-away.

The Holden Acadia seven-seat family SUV is between $11,500 and $17,000 off, between a quarter and one-third off the price of the car.

Additional Info (Thanks Techie4066):

Discounts on driveaway costs. All stock in remaining dealerships is expected to be depleted well before the end of 2020, with some dealers expecting to close by the end of financial year (June 30). Expected discounts from the start of March according to dealer bulletin (subject to change):

Opinions vary on these vehicles, but do jump on them if you have been in the market and are happy with what's available. Holden will provide servicing and spare parts for the next ten years (through a national aftersales network), ongoing call centre support, will issue recalls where necessary, and will honour existing warranties, guarantees and free scheduled servicing offers.

Mod: The deal become largely unobtainable. See comments. Moved to forums.

          They'll have staff in Australia to fulfil warranty issues for the next 10 years.

                @ngengerous: have they written that into contracts of people who have purchased cars? pass legislation in parliament that they will do this? or was it a comment in a new article?

                would you trust Holden after recent announcements and focus on profits?

                lets continue to service cars at low prices. making massive losses keeping these workers on our books….

                @ngengerous: Just like how Holden guaranteed that Australian manufacturing would continue to 2021 in exchange for a few hundred million of our taxpayer dollars?

              @apsilon:

              Doesn't mean you won't have to wait 6 months for the next run of that part you need to be manufactured.

              Are Holden parts unique? I always thought a large number of parts are shared amongst different brands of cars under the GM umbrella (or other brands, if they're just rebadged).

              RHD trim pieces on the other hand… :)

              • @eug: Who knows, the stuff we made for them wasn't unique to them. Given however GM are dropping all RHD globally there's bound to be parts that won't be in regular production.

            • @apsilon: Nonsense. I buy lot's of car parts on eBay and I can get pretty much anything I want straight away, either sourced locally or internationally. There's a huge, huge market for car parts and accessories with plenty of suppliers.

              • @R4: So do I and some parts are simply unavailable even used and/or fetch a fortune the rare times they do come up. Once something is out of production and as time passes that's the way it goes. Add in something that wasn't a popular model to begin with and your timeframe becomes shorter.

                On the plus side a failure is far more likely to be electrical in nature these days so can often be worked around.

                It's also unrealistic to expect a non car person, ie the average driver, to want to be sourcing their own parts from somewhere in the world even if they knew what they wanted.

                • @apsilon: Sure, but all the cars I buy stuff for are maximum 10-12 years old and I've never had a problem. I get most of it internationally as Australia has limited availability and stupid prices.

          • +2

            @ngengerous: Hahaha, sure. Like how china agreed not to enslave hong kong for 50 years after handover.

          • -1

            @ngengerous: They will never fulfill it. They took the 400 million+ the government gave them to keep manufacturing in Australia and never returned it.

        • Plenty of stones in Australia, just not a Holden one.

    • With the Korean made models, are GM going to continue importing them under the Chevrolet name when the Holden branded products are all sold?
