2023 Market Review - Holden Torana LC-LJ/LH-LX/SS/L34/A9X
Good news for lovers of six-cylinder Toranas came late in the year when an LJ XU1 in genuinely excellent condition was knocked down at auction for a very respectable $270,000.
A glimmer in a declining market and following the disappointing $168,250 of some weeks earlier. At the V8 end of the spectrum though, two A9X Hatchbacks remained unsold at over $600,000 and will probably take $150K haircuts before finding buyers. Sedans in the $350-450,000 range stand a better chance.
LX SS Hatchbacks are down significantly on 2022, with one car advertised at $295,000 but the quality of others was lacking, including one that made just $64,000 at auction.
V8 SL Hatchbacks at $100,000 looked decent value but some V8 sedans offered at similar money weren’t genuine V8s. Correctly numbered and excellent SL/R 5000s can manage $150,000.
