Resale Outlook
Marque analyst note
The Holden Commodore VL SS Group A is trading at a median of $76,267, down 5.8% over the past twelve months and currently signaling a buy opportunity after bottoming out. With fewer than 750 units produced, this is a genuinely scarce machine in the US market.
The car carries a "Holy Grail" collectibility score despite surprisingly low current desirability, a tension that reflects the gap between its historical significance and present market appetite. Its rarity and performance pedigree are unquestionable, but American buyers have shown limited enthusiasm for left-hand-drive Australian muscle in recent years.
Liquidity is effectively nonexistent—zero sales were tracked over the past year and no active listings are currently visible. This illiquidity makes both entry and exit challenging for potential owners, and the lack of transaction data limits confidence in pricing accuracy.
The near-term outlook is cautious. Base projections point to further softening over three years to $68,914 (−9.6%) and five years to $66,740 (−12.5%), suggesting the market has yet to find its floor. The buy signal appears anchored more to valuation exhaustion than to positive momentum.
This is a car for collectors with conviction and capital to hold long. The bottomed-out status and scarcity value create a foundation for future appreciation, but current conditions favor buyers who can afford patience and do not require near-term liquidity.
