Used Epcias

barra240t · 23-10-2007, 01:34 PM

Just noticed something, there is 95 used Holden Epica dealer cars on carsales! Obviously most are demos OR are they those give back cars? Not bad for an 07 model. NOT!

They are terrible looking cars,they look so cheap and nasty,I am surprised they sold 95 in the first place,I am yet to se one on the road.

And how many ve's/'07bf's/camrys/whatever are on there for sale as well.Means nothing really.

What concerns me is why are you looking for a s/h epica???

Eaturbo · 23-10-2007, 02:22 PM

I dont know why with so many good cars on the market why would you by one, dearer rego than a mazda 6 yet it is slower

The Monty · 23-10-2007, 02:33 PM

Ive seen one, on the road. They look very old, and outdated.

Quicklier · 23-10-2007, 02:42 PM

Didn't they only have 1 car returned during the promotion?

I'm fairly sure the female owner bought a Mazda 6 and drop punted the Epica back.

I'm not looking for an Eprica at all. I was looking at Astra and just noticed it. I believe it means that aren't selling and have been put on as demo's to create numbers in retail land.

I just can't get over the "Power of a 6, economy of a 4" tag they have attached to them.

Most new 4 cylinders have more power, and are just as efficient.

You were interested enough to start a thread,I wasnt having a dig at you,just wasnt sure if you realised.

why is it that every time I see someone driving an Epica, I feel like asking them WHY? why would you do that to yourself? brand new Epica or second hand Mazda 6/Accord Euro/ Liberty for less? seems a no brainer

McobraR · 23-10-2007, 09:23 PM

cmon guys, maybe they're not an enthusiast and kno nothin about cars. Money is the most important thing, and with that price for the space it offers, maybe thats all they could afford. prove me wrong if there's a cheaper mid sized car than the epica, cant be bothered to look at prices lol

perrys · 23-10-2007, 10:01 PM

Those epicas were rubbish brand new. Now who's gonna buy second hand junk?

Forget mid size, you can score a BF Futura for that money with change. And you get a REAL inline 6cyl. I'm sure there are many more examples. You might even get into a BF Fairmont!

True, but u gotta remember that not everyone wants a falcon, a 2.5 I6 sounds more economical than a big aussie 4.0L. Plus they probably wanted somethin brand new and not used. the falcon looks dated, and while i do believe hte epica looks crap, it looks alot fresher than a falcon in the eyes of someone that doesnt care about cars... just trying to defend those that bought it due to money issues ;)

I agree, not everyone places a huge emphasis on there cars the way most people on here do (myself included). I dont think a car has to be new to look good though, eg IMO a BA/BF XT looks better than the base model VE.

I drove a camira for 3 years, and it was better in every single way (except room for making dirty dirty sex) than my friends EA falcon that was 2 or 3 years newer.
