2001 Holden Caprice WH owner review

Jacob Hall purchased this Holden Caprice used for $45,000 (including all on-road costs) in 2001. Jacob Hall would buy this car again because: "The car's an excellent luxury barge, effortless power and super well insulated cabin, plenty of room for five full-sized adults and a beautiful balanced driving experience thanks to the LS1 V8's low end grunt along with excellent suspension tuning and well weighted steering with all the feel in corner that old school hydraulic steering provides "

2004 Holden Ute owner review

Dale purchased this Holden Ute used for $7,000 (including all on-road costs) in 2019. Dale would buy this car again because: "Ute prices have gone crazy in the past year, I would buy again but I wouldn't be happy coughing up the extra coin. Good examples are getting hard to find and for a base model that's 17 years old it was pretty well spec'd in its day."
