1fast1 Supersonic February 27, 2020 Share February 27, 2020 (edited) 4 minutes ago, henryhartmann said: I meant what are the disadvantages when buying a discontinued car? The usual. Can't get parts, can't get support if something goes wrong. Mitigating factors include: car brand popularity before it took a nosedive, the hardcore fanboy factor (Internet forums for advice, specialist workshops for work), continued supply chain of OEM parts and similar/shared platforms still in production. All that is on you as the prospective buyer to ensure for peace of mind. No one but you can do the due diligence, especially when you won't even reveal which car marque.

Did you just buy a Holden in Australia? Keep it, it will be a collector's item. It will be worth millions 30 years from now. And don't let the demise of Holden stop you beating up them Ford dicks. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
