Yes—Holden shut local manufacturing in 2017 and the brand itself was retired by GM in 2020, which is corporate-speak for “lights off, keys on the hook.”
The reasons were a cocktail of falling sales, high costs, and GM walking away from right-hand-drive development—hard to sell cars you’ve stopped designing for us.
Dealers wound down through 2020–2021, but parts, service, and warranty support continue for years, so your Commodore won’t suddenly become lawn art.
Used Holden values bounce with rarity and nostalgia; Aussie-built icons still pull a crowd, while everyday models remain honest, affordable transport.
If you’re shopping, places like Tradingpost can still be a treasure trove—just bring your best poker face and maybe a fond story about Bathurst.
