By now you\u2019ve probably recovered from the loss of not being able to purchase a new Falcon or Commodore in Australia.\u00a0 These were lovely, big, spacious cars that could travel long distances in superb comfort.\u00a0 So what other alternatives are there for the buyer looking for a new car with those \u2018good-ol\u2019 Commodore and Falcon traits?\u00a0 Well, the good news is there are some potential new vehicles for you.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve had a look at some of the roomier cars with decent performance, decent comfort and reasonable pricing; and when I mean reasonable pricing I mean anywhere up to $60k.\u00a0 There are one-or-two vehicles on the list that are priced beyond the $60k mark, but I\u2019ve added them because I reckon that they would still be worth considering for those of you who have a few more dollars in your back pocket.\u00a0 None on the list run out to much beyond $80k.<\/p>\n

The pricing given for each vehicle should be regarded as the estimated standard model price, so if you go for the higher-end models or want more options, then you would expect that these variants will be pricier.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget to get in touch with our sales team at Private Fleet because often we can get you some great deals!<\/p>\n
