Holden EJ, EH
Sample size does matter and if you need a demonstration, check the average values of this year’s EJ and EH Premiers.
We found just five of each and a couple of unrepresentative cars in each group did terrible things. One low-ball EJ slashed the average by $10,000 while an EH at $90,000 sent that average $15,000 too high.

If you are looking for a good EJ Prem, consider $30,000 a fair price, with the EH at $40-45,000. Despite being well into their Fifties, mainstream EJ and EH models are still plentiful and you can find cars to restore at $6000-10,000.

The averages for both confirm the cost of a typical car. Some are modified but sensible alterations don’t harm values. Panel vans are in demand and some cost significantly more than other body styles.
EJ $20,920 [32]
EH $27,400 [53]
EJ Premier $19,980 [5]
EH Premier $58,500 [5]
